Preparation

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 in (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 (60 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 mL) 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.
