Since hubby and I don’t get out very often for a date night, we like to create date nights at home whenever we can. This usually involves a few very simple things…good wine, yummy appetizers and something enjoyable to watch together on TV. Hey, we are simple creatures and it works! So, for this week’s date night we enjoyed a baked brie along with our drinks and entertainment. I used a smaller wheel of brie than the recipe called for since it was only the 2 of us and cut the topping ingredients in half. It was yummy and made great leftovers…just warm it up 30 to 45 seconds in the microwave!
- 1 (14 ounce) round Brie cheese
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 cups real maple syrup
- 1/8 cup Bourbon
- bagel chips or French baguette, cut into 3/4-inch slices
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Place the wheel of Brie cheese into a baking dish.
- In a glass bowl, mix nuts, maple syrup and bourbon. Pour over the cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese warms and softens, about 15 minutes. Serve cheese with slices of baguette or bagel chips

Thanks for linking up to This Flourishing Life’s Menu Monday 🙂
I had a brandy recipe like this. People loved it at a party. So glad to find yours. Please post it on my foodie friday linky today.
This sounds really good but I noticed in your recipe you call for walnuts yet on the picture the nuts used are pecans. Can any kind of nut be used or is it better with pecans?
Hmmm…I think maybe I used a mix that I had leftover from holiday baking? Not sure. I have done it with both pecans and walnuts. I personally like walnuts better but maybe because I grew up in New England and they dont do a lot of pecans up there? Anyhow, either would work!
