For almost twenty years, starting when I was a young teenager, I was vegan. I enjoyed it at the time, and was definitely very healthy. The diet agreed with me, and it was second nature. When I got pregnant with my second child though, I started to crave ice cream, and decided I was going to start eating dairy again. It was exciting! There was a whole new world of foods I could now explore. Cheeses were the most exciting. I started to pick up small amounts of different cheeses here and there, to test them out.

One of my favourites quickly became Brie. I wanted to make a post about my favourite way to enjoy it. It is super simple, and perfect for parties or last minute guests. Not gonna lie, I’ve prepared this for breakfast before! Although the toppings are sweet, it pairs fantastically with veggies and savoury crackers. Give it a try!

Best and Easiest Baked Brie

One wheel of Brie

1.5 tbsp butter

1.5 tbsp brown sugar

Handful of pecans

1.5 tbsp maple syrup

Pinch of salt

Crackers, apple slices, celery or other snacks for dipping

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees

Place your Brie in a baking dish, and add butter, brown sugar and pecans on top

Bake the Brie in the oven for 20 minutes or so, until it starts to brown and bulge

Remove from the oven and drizzle the maple sugar and salt on top

Serve hot with crackers, fruits, veggies or other snacks for dipping

If the entire wheel isn’t consumed, wrap it tightly and refrigerate. Reheat in the oven and enjoy again.

If you have the chance to give this a try, be sure to let me know how it goes, and thanks for stopping by!
