Brandy Nut Brie

This really makes quite an elegant appitizer. I got this recipe from the Best of Bridge series. It is fast, easy and really, really delicious

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄4 cup pecans or 1⁄4 cup cashews, chopped
• 1  tablespoon brandy or 1  tablespoon  whiskey
• 7 1⁄2 ounces  brie cheese
•  cracker

Directions

1. Combine brown sugar, pecans, and brandy. Set aside.
2. Score top of the cheese and place on an oven proof platter.
3. Bake at 400 for 4 - 5 minutes, until cheese is softened.
4. Mound sugar mixture over cheese.
5. Bake 2 to 3 minutes more until sugar is melted.
6. Serve with crackers.
7. 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.
