Ingredients 1 small wheel of Brie or Camembert (about 9 ounces) ½ cup pecan pieces 3 tablespoons light-brown sugar 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup crackers or sliced baguette, for serving Directions 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. While cheese cools, place nuts on a clean baking sheet; bake until toasted and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle nuts over cheese. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and maple syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat; simmer until foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle warm sauce over slightly cooled cheese and nuts; serve with crackers or baguette. David Loftus Cook's Notes Brie and Camembert are mild and nutty soft-ripened cheeses from France. They are at their peak when plump and soft, with a milky white rind; eat within a few days of purchase. Print
