Ingredients:

  • 1 (8-ounce/225g) wheel of brie cheese
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (60g) pecan halves
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary, finely chopped (about 1 teaspoon)

Instructions:

  1. Lightly dust the brie wheel with flour.
  2. Lightly toast pecan halves in a dry pan until fragrant, before continuing with recipe.
  3. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and rosemary. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fragrant and the pecans are coated, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Place the brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spoon the pecan topping evenly over the top of the brie.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until the brie is softened and the pecan topping is bubbly and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Check regularly, so the brie does not melt too much.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. The brie will be very hot!
