Categories Condiment/Spread Cheese Side

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

-1/4 cup brown sugar
-1/4 cup tossed pecans
-1 tbsp. brandy or whisky
-brie

Steps:

-bake on top of brie at 400 for 4-5 min

Tips:

Use a ripe Brie cheese. A ripe Brie will be soft and creamy, with a slightly runny center. This will make it easier to spread and will help the flavors of the other ingredients to meld together.
Slice the Brie horizontally. This will create a larger surface area for the nuts and brandy mixture, and it will also make it easier to serve.
Toast the nuts. Toasting the nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
Use a good quality brandy. The brandy is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a brandy that is at least 80 proof and has a nice flavor.
Don't overcook the Brie. The Brie should be melted and bubbly, but it shouldn't be too runny. Keep an eye on it while it's cooking and remove it from the heat as soon as it's melted.

Conclusion:

Brandy Nut Brie is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's creamy, nutty, and slightly boozy, and it's sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give Brandy Nut Brie a try. You won't be disappointed!
