Maple Pecan Baked Brie
Maple Pecan Baked Brie is a warm wheel of Brie cheese topped with toasted pecans and a fragrant maple-rosemary syrup. Baking softens the Brie to a creamy consistency, while the maple syrup with fresh rosemary warms with herbal notes. Toasted pecans add crunch and nutty flavor. This appetizer pairs well with crackers or baguette slices for spreading.
