Description

This Quick and Easy Maple Pecan Baked Brie Appetizer is a deliciously warm and gooey treat perfect for Fall and Winter gatherings. Featuring a wheel of double cream brie topped with a sweet and spiced pecan mixture made from brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon, this appetizer is baked until bubbling and served garnished with fresh rosemary or thyme. It pairs beautifully with crackers or toasted baguette slices, making it an effortless crowd-pleaser with just six simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 250-350 g wheel of double cream brie cheese

Topping

  • 4 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup pecan halves

Garnish

  • Fresh rosemary or fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper. Place the wheel of brie into the center of the lined baking dish. Using a sharp knife, lightly score the top of the brie in a diagonal pattern to help the flavors penetrate.
  2. Make pecan topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined. Stir in the pecan halves ensuring they are coated with the maple mixture.
  3. Assemble and bake: Spoon the pecan topping evenly over the top of the brie, then drizzle any remaining maple sauce from the bowl over the pecans and brie. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes until the cheese is soft, bubbling, and starting to ooze from the edges.
  4. Garnish and serve: Remove the baked brie from the oven, spoon any maple sauce collected in the dish back over the warm brie and pecans. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme. Serve immediately with your favorite crackers or toasted baguette slices (crostini) for dipping.
