Baked Brie

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 8 ounces brie cheese, wedge (depends on how many people, can use whole round)
• 6 ounces apricot jam
• 6 ounces honey-roasted almonds, presliced (in salad aisle, guessed on size, just buy bag and use half of it)
• pepper, freshly cracked (garnish)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375.
• 2 place brie in center of small baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. if using a bigger size, baking times will be longer. you want the brie to be soft to the touch and still maintain its shape, no oozed cheese.
• 3 remove cheese and place desired amount of jam over wedge. (i used half a jar and it was perfect for the wedge size).
• 4 place back in oven and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until you notice the jam is soft and glaze-like.
• 5 remove and using a spoon, make sure to spread jam over cheese until it is all covered.
• 6 top with slivered honey roasted almonds and a couple turns of fresh cracked pepper and serve immediately with an assortment of crackers, toated sliced baguette, and sliced crisp apples or pears. serve also with a wine (i.e. pinot grigio to complement the flavors).
