Short and Sweet: Baked Brie with Maple-Pecan Praline

Brie with pecans

Now here’s a good way to ring out 2012; gooey cheese topped with maple pecans and caramel. In this photo I used La Rougette – a buttery triple crème cheese enveloped in a rind that is both washed and bloomy – but brie is more familiar, and really – anything that will go gooey with heat will do.

    you could also place the brie in a baking dish, or wrap it in pastry (yum!)
    There’s no way it serves 8 at our house!
