1 |
Preheat oven to 500°
F. Place brie on baking sheet. |

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. |

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. |
