Cherry Pecan Brie
Ready In: 25 mins
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 1 brie round (8 inch)
- 1⁄2 lb sweet cherries, pitted and halved
- 1⁄3 cup finely chopped yellow sweet pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
- 1 -2 teaspoon sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup toasted pecans, chopped
- thinly sliced French bread
Directions
- Allow the Brie to rest at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, combine the cherries, yellow pepper, and green onion in a medium size bowl.
- Stir in the sugar, using more or less depending on the sweetness of the cherries, and the salt.
- Set aside.
- Shortly before serving, assemble the Brie: Using a long serrated knife, cut the Brie in half horizontally, separating the top from the bottom.
- Place the top to one side and cover the bottom layer with half of the cherry mixture; cover with half the pecans.
- Replace the top, and with the same knife, gently saw off the thin white rind of the top of the cheese.
- Spoon the remaining cherry mixture on top and cover with remaining nuts.
- Serve at room temperature, accompanied by French bread.
- (Do not refrigerate, it will make the pecans soggy.).
