What You Need
Instructions
With a long, sharp knife, cut off and discard the top rind of the cheese.
Combine sugar, pecans and butter; mix well. Sprinkle mixture evenly over surface of cheese.
Place Canadian Brie in an ovenproof container slightly larger than the cheese. Broil 6 inches (15 cm) from source of heat until cheese is soft, slightly melted and topping is bubbly.
Serve warm with strawberries or cookies.
Praline and Apricot Toppings:
Replace brown sugar, pecans and butter with 1/4 cup (50 mL) apricot jam mixed with 2 tsp (10 mL) brandy.
After removing top rind from cheese, prick surface with fork and pour 1 tsp (5 mLl) pour brandy over all.
Top with apricot mixture and bake in 350 °F (180 °C) oven 10 min. Sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds to serve.
Tips
Praline and Apricot Toppings can easily be doubled or tripled to cover 300 g or 550 g wheels of Canadian Brie or Camembert.
*For a change of taste use single or double crème Canadian Camembert.

One of my favourite toppings is carmelized onions. Sautee sliced onions in butter, place on top of the brie and heat in over. Also, for presentation, I use individual oven proof dishes the size of the brie and serve directr to table.
