Recipe: Coffee Pecan Brie

Coffee Pecan Brie
Compliments of Nancy E. Stolarik, Shelton, WA
From KCTS Chefs

1 pound shelled pecans
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup Kahlua
1 pound round of Brie cheese, room temperature
assorted cocktail crackers

Place Brie on large plate with lip that comes up a bit.

Coarsely chop the pecans and place them in the oven to toast lightly.

Place brown sugar and Kahlua in large frying pan over medium heat. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and bubbly (brown and on the verge of caramelizing). Add toasted pecans, bring back to a boil, and remove from heat. Pour mixture over Brie.

Heat for 10 seconds in microwave or for approximately 30 seconds in a 300F oven. (This step breaks down the Brie to where it's just short of runny and blends wonderfully with the sauce).

Serve with crackers.
