4. Drizzle the honey evenly over the top of the brie.

7. Let it cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Serve immediately with crackers, bread, or fruit.
Notes
Measuring: For best results, use quality ingredients. Ensure your nuts are fresh for the best flavor.
Substitutions: You can substitute walnuts or sliced almonds for the pecans. Maple syrup works well in place of honey. Feel free to add 2 tablespoons of fig jam or apricot preserves before baking.
Do Not Overbake: Watch the brie closely. It should be soft and melty, not completely liquefied.
