Baked Brie Appetizer in 3 Minutes (Crowd Favorite Recipe)
Easy and delicious baked brie appetizer in 3 minutes! Creamy brie, pecans, pomegranate, and maple syrup make the perfect crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
Cheese
- 1 round brie cheese, 250 g / 8 oz, made with microbial or vegetable rennet
Nuts
- 1/4 cup pecans, dry roasted and roughly chopped
Fruit
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
Sweetener
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
To serve
- Crackers or bagel chips, sturdy enough for scooping
Instructions
- Unwrap the brie and place it on a small microwave-safe plate with a rim so the syrup does not spill over.
- Microwave on high for about 1 minute and 15 seconds, watching closely, until the center feels soft when pressed, and if it puffs up too much turn off the microwave and let the residual heat finish melting it.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the warm brie, then scatter the pomegranate seeds on top.
- Drizzle the maple syrup generously over the cheese, letting it run down the sides for a dramatic look.
- Serve right away with crackers or bagel chips, and set out a spoon or small knife so guests can scoop up the gooey cheese.
