Main Ingredients
- 1 (250 g / 8 oz) whole brie
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped pecans, roasted
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Brie: Unwrap the brie and place it on a small microwave-safe plate with a rim to prevent maple syrup overflow.
- Microwave the Brie: Heat the brie on high for 1 minute and 15 seconds, or until it feels very soft when gently prodded in the center. Monitor carefully to avoid overpuffing. If the brie starts to puff excessively, stop microwaving and let residual heat melt it further.
- Add Toppings: Once melted, immediately top the brie with the roasted pecans, pomegranate seeds, and drizzle the maple syrup on top. Serve promptly with your favorite crackers suitable for scooping.
Notes
- Ensure to use a plate with a rim to catch any syrup drips.
- Monitor the brie carefully while microwaving to prevent bursting due to puffing.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the brie at its melty best.
- Roasting pecans beforehand enhances their flavor and crunch.
