Ingredients:

• 170g (6 oz) brie wheel

• 4 oz bacon, diced

• 1 oz pecan pieces

• 1 oz maple syrup

• Baguette, sliced

• Olive oil (for drizzling)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Bacon-Pecan Topping:

• In a pan over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until about ¾ done.

• Drain the fat from the pan, then add the pecan pieces. Toast the pecans with the bacon, stirring constantly.

• Once the bacon is crispy and the pecans are slightly toasted, stir in the maple syrup.

• Remove from heat and toss to fully coat the bacon and nuts. Set aside.

2. Bake the Brie:

• Score the top of the brie wheel and place it in a brie baker or an oven-safe dish.

• Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the brie is soft and gooey.

3. Prepare the Baguette:

• Lay the sliced baguette on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil.

• Toast in the oven, until lightly toasted.

4. Assemble and Serve:

• Remove the brie from the oven and top it with the maple bacon pecan mixture.

• Serve immediately with the toasted baguette slices.
