Maple Pecan Baked Brie – delicious melty brie topped with a maple, brown sugar, and pecan mixture. Serve with apple slices and graham crackers! This is perfect as a holiday appetizer or the star of your cheeseboard!
This maple pecan baked brie is my alltime favorite appetizer for parties, especially holiday parties. It looks so pretty on a cheeseboard surrounded by sliced baguette, fruits, and other cheeses.
And it’s also really easy to make. It’s as easy as putting a few toppings on top of the brie and baking until the cheese has melted!
Ingredients
- Brie cheese – you want the round brie and leave the rind on so the cheese stays in while it bakes.
- Maple syrup
- Brown sugar
- Cinnamon
- Pecans – you can use walnuts if you prefer
Instructions
- Warm the brie. Place brie on a small baking sheet. Bake at 350F for about 15 minutes or until softened. Remove and let cool for about 5 minutes.
- Make topping. While the brie cools, heat maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon over low heat in a small saucepan. Stir until the sugar has dissolved; stir in pecans.
- Assemble. Pour over the brie and serve immediately.
Where To Buy Brie
You can find brie at any large grocery store. It’s usually not with the shredded cheese but most stores will have a “fancy cheese” section near the deli and that’s where you can find it.
If you are having trouble finding it, check Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods – both should definitely have it.
Can You Make It Ahead?
Baked brie should not be made ahead. It’s best when served really hot so the brie is still gooey and dippable.
What To Serve with Baked Brie
My favorite things to serve with baked brie is sliced baguette, graham crackers, and apple slices.
You could really do any sort of cookie, cracker, or fruit though. I think strawberries and crisp grapes would be delicious with this particular baked brie.
I also think it goes great with a dry white wine if you are looking for drink options!
How To Reheat
You can warm up leftover baked brie at a low temp (300F or so) in the oven or even in the microwave. You aren’t trying to cook it, just get it back to it’s melted, dippable state.
Can You Freeze It?
I don’t recommend you try freezing this baked brie. Once it’s baked, it will probably be a mess to try to contain and freeze.

Do you eat the rind?
Amanda Livesay says
I’ve seen people eat the rind but I don’t personally enjoy it.
Brielle says
This combination looks soo delicious. I’m going to check this with my own circle of relatives this weekend. I may also replace walnuts or peanuts rather than pecans. I’ll permit you to realize the way it went! You can also check my Blog: https://lookafterbabies.com/middle-names-for-brielle/

When do you remove the rind?

Leave the rind on and once you cut into it, the hot cheese will start to ooze out. :)

Pam says
I’m a cheese novice. Do you leave the rind on the cheese when you bake it?
amanda says
Yes, leave the rind on. It keeps all the cheese from oozing out before you’re ready. :)
Angela says
Yes leave the rind on otherwise it will become a brie puddle in the oven!
