Kahlua Pecan Baked Brie is an impressive but easy appetizer to add to your next party or holiday cheese tray. Brie is warmed to a creamy deliciousness then topped with sweet candied pecans that carry a subtle coffee flavor. Perfect served with crackers and sliced fruit.
Kahlua Pecan Brie
It's December! Can you believe it? It just kind of crept up on me and now I'm charging full scale into Christmas baking and whipping up some tasty appetizers for holiday parties. This Kahlua Pecan Baked Brie is one of my favorites. I usually serve it alongside some crispy Goat Cheese Wonton and Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms.
It's easy to make and looks like an elegant appetizer that took hours to make. Ahem, don't tell anyone but it only takes about 15 minutes. That can be our little secret.
Kahlua Pecan Baked Brie is Simple, Yet Elegant
The prep is mostly hands-off and while you're prepping, you can bake the brie wheel so it's all ready for the deliciously sweet and nutty topping. It's a great addition to a cheese tray and a glass (or two) of wine or a holiday Cranberry Mimosa.
Enjoy the season!
