Toasted pecans and maple syrup complement the creamy Brie in this hors d'oeuvre. For the best texture, let the cheese cool before topping it with the syrup mixture. This recipe is by Everyday Food reader Kathy Quinn of Montclair, New Jersey.

Ingredients

    • 1 small wheel of Brie or Camembert (about 9 ounces)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cheese on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate; cool about 20 minutes.
