Ingredients

1/4 cup (60 ml) pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup (60 ml) walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 whole 250 g double cream brie or Camembert cheese
1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey
2 tablespoons (30 ml) port or sweet sherry wine
2 tablespoons (30 ml) dried Zante currants
Freshly toasted bread slices
Crackers, to taste

Preparation

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F).
Combine the pecans and walnuts on a plate. Set aside.
Brush the cheese round with the honey and press into the nuts. Place the cheese in a small baking dish. Cover with the remaining nuts.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring the wine and currants to a boil. Simmer until the wine is syrupy. Pour over the cheese, right out of the oven.
Serve immediately with the toasted bread and crackers.

Note

To serve 8 to 10 people, we suggest you bake two cheese rounds (double the recipe) in individual baking dishes.

This baked brie, which we serve as an aperitif or after a meal, can be prepared in advance. Just bake it at the last minute. This recipe is a sure bet to sustain your guests before the main meal.
