Baked Brie Cheese with Praline Sauce #SundaySupper
Author: www.familyfoodierecipes.com
This fabulous Baked Brie Cheese with Praline Sauce came from my friend Scott @1educatedpalate
Ingredients
  • 1 (16-ounce) wheel of Brie
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup toasted and chopped pecans or walnuts will work too.
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • Crackers, to serve
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Shave off the top rind of the Brie using a knife or a vegetable peeler (it is easiest to do this after it has been in the freezer for about 20 minutes). If the Brie came in a wooden box, return it to the original container. If not, create a makeshift "box" out of a few layers of aluminum foil, leaving the top of the Brie exposed.
  3. Place the cheese on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until warm and gooey, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving. Carefully transfer to a serving platter; you do not want the rind to puncture, if possible.
  4. While the Brie is cooling, make the praline sauce.
  5. Praline Sauce Recipe:
  6. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, and pecans. Cook, stirring constantly, until all of the ingredients are well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in coarsely ground black pepper and remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, until it has thickened up just a bit. Dollop the warm sauce over the baked cheese. (There may be extra praline sauce.) Serve with assorted crackers.
  7. My Note: The praline sauce can be made the day before. To reheat, microwave in increments of 20 seconds, or heat in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until warm.
