Wonderful fall
recipe for brie...
|
|
1
lb |
|
round brie cheese |
|
|
2/3
cup |
|
whole berry cranberry sauce, crushed |
|
|
¼
cup |
|
light brown sugar, packed |
|
|
½
tsp |
|
rum
or orange extract |
|
|
¼
tsp |
|
ground nutmeg |
|
|
¼
cup |
|
chopped pecans, toasted |
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 |
Preheat oven
to 500° F. Place brie on baking sheet. |
|
2 |
Cut off top
rind of brie cheese round, leaving ¼" rim around
the edge. First cut the circle into the top of
the round, then position the knife horizontally
and gently cut under the rind around the circle
to remove the top. If this is too difficult to
do, you can also heat the brie a bit to soften
the cheese and make it easier to remove the
rind. |
|
3 |
Combine
cranberry sauce, sugar, rum and nutmeg. Top
prepared brie with cranberry mixture and
sprinkle with chopped pecans. |
|
4 |
Bake 4-5
minutes, or until brie is soft and warm. |
|
5 |
Serve with
assorted crackers. |

Cooking Tips |
|
*Serve on the top of
a two-tiered rack. Place a plate on the bottom rack with
tea-lite candles. This will help keep the brie warm
during your party. |

****Restaurant
Quality!- would
make it again. "This appetizer recipe was terrific at my
autumn party. I chopped the pecans finely, and made sure that the
brie was heated to near melting consistency. At the end of my
party, only the rind was left!"
