Brandy Nut Brie Recipes

BRANDY NUT BRIE

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, pecans, and brandy. Set aside.
• Score top of the cheese and place on an oven proof platter.
• Bake at 400 for 4 - 5 minutes, until cheese is softened.
• Mound sugar mixture over cheese.
• Bake 2 to 3 minutes more until sugar is melted.
• Serve with crackers.
• Note: I use my toaster oven to cook this. I have seen this recipe done up on a larger wheel of brie -- the sauce just needs to be adjusted.

CANDIED NUTS AND BRIE DIP

Steps:

• 1. Stir together brown sugar, nuts, and brandy. Place cheese in a baking dish a little larger than the Brie wheel. Bake at 425 for about 6 minutes until cheese begins to soften in the middle.
• 2. Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the cheese.
• 3. Bake until the sugar melts (3-5 minutes more).
• 4. Serve with apples, crackers or sliced baguettes. *You can use a 17.6 oz wheel of Brie for this recipe for a larger crowd. Just triple the other ingredients.

SUGAR-AND-NUT-GLAZED BRIE

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together the sugar, nuts, and brandy. Cover and chill for at least 24 hours or up to one week. At serving time, place the Brie on an ovenproof platter or pie plate. Bake at 500 degrees for 4 or 5 minutes or until the Brie is slightly softened. Spread the sugar mixture in an even layer on top of the warm Brie, and bake for 2 to 3 minutes longer, or until the sugar melts. Brush the fruit wedges with lemon juice and arrange them around one side of the Brie. Place crackers around the other side.

CHERRY-BRANDY BAKED BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Place cheese in a 9-in. pie plate. Combine cherries, walnuts, brown sugar and brandy; spoon over cheese., Bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese is softened. Serve with baguette.
