Salted Caramel Pecan Baked Brie
Ingredients
- 16 oz wheel of brie cheese
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup pecans chopped
Serving Options
- 1 apple thinly sliced

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place brie in a “foil basket” on a rimmed baking sheet and into the oven for 15-20 minutes.
While the brie is baking, prepare the salted caramel pecan sauce.
Add the granulated sugar to a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until it turns into an amber-colored liquid.
Once the sugar is completely melted, stir the butter into the caramel until it is completely melted, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly, drizzle in the heavy cream while stirring constantly, allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute.
Remove from the heat and stir in the sea salt and pecans.
- As soon as the brie comes out of the oven, place it on a rimmed serving dish and pour the salted caramel pecan sauce on top.
Serve with sliced apples, graham crackers, shortbread cookies or a sliced baguette.
