Time 25m

Yield 1 round/wedge, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 -8 ounces brie cheese (a round or wedge)
1 cup cherry preserves
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Remove wrapping from brie, and also the rind if desired.
  • Place the brie inside an oven-safe casserole dish or serving platter that has been lightly greased. ( I use cooking spray).
  • Toast the slivered almonds until golden brown and aromatic (350 degrees, ungreased pan, ten minutes OR add almonds to 1 T. butter and microwave for 4-5 minutes) Regardless of your method, stir them several times while toasting.
  • Mix preserves and brown sugar. Pour over the brie.
  • Top with toasted almonds.
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes, or until it starts to look gooey.
  • Serve with toasted baguette slices, crackers or apple slices.
