WARM BRIE WITH FRUIT

Steps:

• Melt butter until sizzling in small skillet; stir in sugar.
• Add pecans and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is caramelized (4-5 minutes). Set aside.
• Unwrap brie; place on microwave safe serving plate.
• Cut circle in top of cheese with sharp knife about 1/2 inch from edge and 1/4 inch deep.
• Microwave cheese on HIGH until top piece of cheese can be easily lifted off (45-60 seconds).
• Discard top.
• Sprinkle cheese with caramelized pecans and chives.
• Microwave on HIGH until cheese is creamy and begins to bubble, 45-75 seconds.
• To serve, arrange greens on serving place and top with cheese.
• Serve with assorted fruit.

WARM BRIE WITH FUJI APPLE, PEAR AND MELBA TOASTS

Steps:

• Quarter apple and pear lengthwise and cut into each quarter on an angle to remove the core. Slice apple and pear into 1/4-inch thick slices. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the fruit to slow browning.
• Cut the top rind off the brie and place in the microwave on high for 60 seconds. Depending on the ripeness of the cheese, it will take 60 to 90 seconds on high to heat and melt. If brie is not yet soft and hot after 1 minute, place it back in microwave for another 30 seconds on high.
• Serve the softened, warm brie with a platter of fruit and Melba toasts for dipping and spreading. Reheat brie if it tightens up for 20 to 30 seconds at a time on high.

BAKED BRIE WITH CARAMEL SAUCE AND FRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, and flour. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes continuously stirring. Remove from heat. Once mixture is lukewarm, add milk and stir until smooth. (It will be lumpy at first- just keep stirring.) Add pecans - I used about a handful of halved pecans broken into fairly large pieces.
• Place brie into oven until melted- only 5 minutes or so- you will know if you touch the outside and it moves with the melted cheese inside.
• Take brie from oven and onto a serving platter. Warm caramel/pecan mixture if it has cooled, and pour over the top. Serve with sliced apples. Enjoy!
• **NOTE: If you choose a slice of brie instead of a round, you should not bake the brie. It would melt all over the place. Just take out to room temperature, pour warm caramel sauce over it-- that should soften it enough to still be delicious.
