This is one of my greatest secret weapons for gatherings. It looks fantastic, you don't need to use an expensive brie for this, it's adaptable to your taste, it takes minutes to make, and it's an absolute and total crowd pleaser! The flavour combination is a killer: creamy brie with the warm nuttiness of pecans, sweetness from maple syrup and juicy pops of pomegranate. Normally brie served like this is baked, but you can't tell the difference between baking and microwaving!
View original recipe on recipetineats.comUnwrap brie and place on a small microwave-proof plate with a rim (so maple syrup doesn't go everywhere).
Microwave on high for 1 minute 15 seconds, or until the brie is very soft when you prod the centre. Watch the brie as you microwave it - if it starts to puff up too much (i.e. risk of bursting), turn microwave off and leave brie inside - residual heat will continue to melt it.
Top with pecans, pomegranate seeds and maple syrup. Serve immediately with crackers of choice (choose ones suitable for scooping). I serve this with a spoon and/or small pate knife.
