Ingredients
- 8 ounces brie cheese
- 5 slices bacon
- ⅔ cup pecans
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Cook bacon slices until crisp, chop fine, and set aside.
- Finely chop pecans and set aside.
- In a medium size bowl, mix together chopped pecans, honey, rum, and brown sugar.
- Add chopped bacon and stir until the mixture is combined.
- Cut the brie round in half horizontally with a sharp knife. Lay with cut sides up on a piece of parchment paper.
- Spoon half of the pecan mixture onto one side of the brie cheese.
- Place the other half of brie cheese on top (cut side down like a sandwich) and spoon the rest of the mixture on top of the brie.
- Lift up the parchment paper, by the corners so you don't spill the jam) and place it into the baking dish or on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes until the brie is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and serve with crackers, a baguette, apples or pears.
Notes
- Dish & size - Use 5-7 inch brie dish or small oven-safe casserole. Choose 8-ounce brie round (just over 4 inches across). Line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Extra gooey - Triple cream brie creates the best melty texture. Yes, you can eat the white bloomy rind on the outside!
- Liquid options - Swap rum for cognac, brandy, or bourbon, or use apple cider, orange juice, cranberry juice, or even water.
