Wheel of brie topped with apricot jam & sugar spiced pecans. 

Brie (1 large), Apricot jam (12 ounces), Pecans (1 pound), Brown sugar (2 cups), Olive oil (dash), Kosher salt (dash), Clove (dash), Curry (dash), Cinnamon (dash), Chili powder (dash). 

Make pecans: preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss pecans in olive oil, then salt, brown sugar, curry, clove, chili powder, and cinnamon. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, be careful not to burn. Assemble brie: scrape top rind off brie and thinly trim sides to remove rind (bottom rind is ok). Top with apricot jam then nuts. Prop up and place over a gentle heat such as a votive or tea light candle about 20 minutes before serving. (here it rests on 4 rocks glasses). Serve with crostini and crackers.

The 5 Days of Baked Brie: Day 3

Inspired by this post, we decided to choose our top five favorite baked bries to post once a day, leading up to Christmas. Here is our third pick. 

3) Baked Brie with Grape Balsamic Compote

For the third day of our baked brie showcase we chose this recipe from, Beantown Baker. This recipe is a tad more complex than the previous two, but will impress anyone you have over for a holiday party. Also a good tip: Take a sharp knife and cut around the top of the brie so the cheese can melt evenly in the oven. When it's done, you can easily take the top off like so:  

Stay tuned for another baked brie recipe tomorrow!

WARM BRIE WITH HONEYED RASPBERRIES AND ALMONDS

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cups natural sliced almonds

1 wheel (13.3 ounces approx) ripe brie, top rind sliced off, chilled

1/4 cups honey

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

1/2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme

1 package (6 ounces) Driscoll's raspberries

Water crackers or baguette slices for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Spread almonds on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted and fragrant, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Meanwhile, place Brie on rimless baking sheet (or the underside of a rimmed baking sheet). Bake until warm and the top is softened, but not until cheese is oozing, about 15 minutes. Slide cheese onto serving platter.

Stir honey, vinegar and thyme together in a medium skillet and cook over medium heat just until warm. Gently fold in raspberries and almonds with a rubber spatula.

Pour raspberry mixture over warm cheese. Serve at once, with crackers for spreading.
