For the Maple Pecan Brie:
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a small skillet on low heat, add the Kroger® Pecans. Toast the nuts, stirring often, until fragrant, 6-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a medium heatproof bowl.
Step 3
To the bowl of pecans, add the Simple Truth Organic™ Maple Syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper. Toss to combine.
Step 4
Add the Private Selection™ Parisian Style Double Creme Brie wheel to the pre-lined baking sheet and top with the pecan mixture. Place in the oven and cook until the maple syrup is bubbling and the cheese is soft, 10-15 minutes.
Step 5
Using a large spatula, remove the brie from the baking sheet onto a serving platter. Serve with toasted baguette sliced and top with cranberry sauce, if desired. Enjoy!
