Equipment

1 knife
1 baking dish
1 small saucepan
1 kitchen spoon

Ingredients

12 ounces brie cheese
5 tablespoons butter
½ cup brown sugar packed
⅓ cup heavy cream
¾ cup pecans halves or pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Coat a small baking dish with non-stick oil spray and set aside.
Remove top of rind from wheel of brie then place the wheel in a small baking dish.
Transfer to oven and bake for about 22 minutes. Cheese should be melted and bubbly.
In the meantime, make praline sauce: melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and heavy cream until uniform.
Bring praline sauce to a gentle boil then reduce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing sauce to thicken.
Remove sauce from heat then stir in pecans. Set aside.
Once brie is finished baking, pour praline sauce over top and serve immediately. Enjoy carefully.

Notes

Preparation

Most recipes advise not removing the top in order to keep the brie wheel stable, however, I prefer to slice off the top because we are pouring the caramel all over it, anyway. If you don't want to do this, I recommend making diagonal cuts in the top of the wheel instead.

I like to make this dish just before hosting because it is truly best fresh out of the oven. But if you need to make it a bit ahead, cover with foil and keep it near your warm oven or stovetop. I don't recommend making it too far ahead because the praline sauce will start to separate and the dish will solidify as it gets cold.

Storage

Store extra baked brie dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to four days.
