BAKED BRIE WITH PECANS RECIPE



Baked Brie with Pecans Recipe image

This easy-yet-elegant appetizer will be a hit at your next casual gameday party, weekend family brunch, or holiday cocktail party. It is best served warm so pop it in the oven about 20 minutes before your guests arrive. You do not need to cut the rind from brie cheese; it softens as it warms, making it completely edible and a delicious addition to your next cheese board. While the brie is in the oven, heat the honey, salt and five spice powder in a saucepan, then stir in the chopped, toasted pecans and sweetened, dried cherries. Transfer the cheese to a pretty serving platter, top with pecan mixture, and serve with apple slices, baguette slices, or a sturdy cracker. Five Spice Powder is a widely used ingredient in Chinese and Taiwanese cuisine and includes all five flavors: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami, or savoriness. Most five spice blends will include a mixture of star anise, cloves, cinnamon, pepper, and fennel seeds, and some blends will also include anise seeds, nutmeg, ginger root, turmeric, cardamom pods, licorice, or orange peel. Five Spice Powder is often used to flavor braised or roasted meat, fish, and poultry dishes, and can also be added to marinades and rubs.

Top gooey baked brie with dried cherries, pecans, bacon and thyme.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 strips bacon
1/4 cup dried cherries, chopped
1/4 cup candied pecans, finely chopped
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 7- to 8-ounce round high-quality Brie (preferably from France)
Sliced bread and/or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool and then finely chop.
  • Mix the bacon, cherries, pecans, vinegar, rosemary, thyme, pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl.
  • Trim off the top rind of the Brie, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges and put in a small baking dish. Top with the pecan mixture, letting it mound and fall into the dish around the Brie. Cover the dish with foil, and bake until the cheese is warm and gooey, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Serve warm with bread and/or crackers.

Tips:

  • Choose a ripe brie. A ripe brie will have a soft, creamy texture and a slightly runny center. Avoid brie that is too hard or too soft, as it will not bake properly.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the brie. This will help the brie to bake evenly and prevent it from cracking.
  • Bake the brie at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the brie from becoming overcooked and rubbery.
  • Serve the brie immediately. Brie is best served warm and gooey. You can serve it with crackers, bread, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Brie recipes with pecans are a delicious and easy way to enjoy this classic cheese. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both elegant and satisfying. Whether you are serving it as an appetizer, main course, or dessert, brie with pecans is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a special dish to make, give one of these recipes a try.
