Apricot Rosemary Pecan Brie
Ingredients
1 wheel brie
3 tablespoon salted butter
1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 sprigs of rosemary
½ apricot jam
1 cup pecans, chopped
toasted baguette for serving
Directions
Preheat to 375°F and place the brie wheel in a small round baking dish. Once oven is to temperature, place the brie in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, until soft inside. You can use a toothpick or sharp knife to test.
Bring a saucepan or skillet to medium heat. Add the butter and once it's slightly bubbling, add the red pepper flakes and rosemary. Occasionally stir to coat the rosemary in butter until rosemary is fragrant, about 2 minutes,
Add the apricot jam and stir to coat the rosemary, then add the chopped pecans. Stirring occasionally, cook until the pecans are coated and the sauce is starting to candy and caramelize. Remove from stove, place in a bowl and set aside.
Once the brie is cooked, place the pecans and sauce on top, and enjoy with toasted baguette!
