Brie with Pecan Syrup

1. 1

   Put pecans in a small saucepan over medium low heat to toast.

2. 2

   Toast pecans for 2-3 minutes, careful not to burn.

3. 3

   Once pecans are toasted, add the brown sugar and Kahlua to the pan with the pecans, mix until combined.

4. 4

   Allow ingredients to melt over the heat, 2-3 minutes.

5. 5

   Scrape top of wheel of brie with a fork, just to rough up the surface and remove some of the rind.

6. 6

   Place brie into a lipped dish (like a pie plate), top with the pecan mixture.

7. 7

   Microwave brie in 30 second increments until soft, but not oozing out (it usually takes me 3-4 30-second go-rounds in the microwave).

8. 8

   Serve with crackers.

9. 9

   (I like to serve with buttery crackers like Club Crackers, or with Plain Water Crackers)

10. 10

    Tip for Taking to a Party: When I take this to a party, I take the brie, the dish, and the premade pecan mixture all separate.

11. 11

    Then I assemble it at the party.

12. 12

    It is fine to keep the pecan mixture at room temperature once it is made.
