Kahlua-Pecan Brie



In Portugual, I grew up with my family serving a cheese plate between dinner and dessert.  
Not many people do this here in the States but the few that do, this is perfect. Too 
sweet to be an appetizer. I think this can also be a nice dessert in front of a fireplace with a 
glass of wine/Port with your favorite person.
Ingredients:
• 1 (15 ounce) round Brie
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 2 1/2 tablespoons Kahlua
Method:
Remove rind from the top of the cheese, cutting to within 1/2" of edge. Combine pecans, brown sugar and Kahlua; spread over cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 6 minutes or just until soft. Serve immediately with gingersnaps or apple slices.
