Makes: 16 to 20 small appetizer tastes

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Weeks Honey Farm Alapaha Honey
• 1 tablespoon brandy
• 1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
• 1 (8-ounce) wheel brie, about 5 inches in diameter

How to Make Honey Pecan Baked Brie

1. Preheat the oven. Heat the oven to 500°F. Place the brie on an oven-safe serving platter or in a 9-inch pie plate.
2. Mix the topping. Stir the honey, brandy, and chopped pecans together in a small bowl.
3. Warm the brie. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes, watching closely, just until the cheese softens.
4. Add the glaze. Spoon the honey-pecan mixture over the brie and return it to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, until the topping is warm. Remove it before the wheel loses its shape.
5. Serve immediately. Set out crackers, toasted baguette slices, apple wedges, or pear slices for dipping and spreading.

Tips for the Best Baked Brie

• Keep the rind on so the cheese holds together as it warms.
• Because the oven is very hot, stay nearby and check the brie early.
• Place the serving dish on a heat-safe surface and warn guests that it is warm.
• For deeper pecan flavor, lightly toast the nuts before mixing the topping.
