Baked Brie with Nut Crust
from the kitchen of Tara Gazaway
ingredients:
1 whole wheel (8 oz) Brie cheese
1/3 C pecans
1/3 C almonds
1/3 C walnuts
1 egg
1 T heavy cream
2 T sugar-free raspberry jam
directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a food processor, pulse nuts to finely chop but don’t overprocess. Transfer nuts to shallow dish or pie plate. Whisk egg and cream to blend in shallow dish. Dip Brie (rind on) into egg mixture and then into nut mixture, turning to coat and pressing nuts to adhere. Transfer Brie to baking sheet and spread jam over top. Bake 15 min. or until cheese is warm and soft. (I think it is better to leave it in for 20-25 min.) Serve with apples, pears and/or a cracker assortment. Makes 8 servings
