Baby Brie With Praline

This is a wonderful holiday recipe for a gathering of friends. I also change it a bit with just heating whole cranberry sauce and pouring it over a whole brie or camembert cheese.

Steps

---

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 cheese in an ovenproof container slightly larger than the cheese.

---

Broil 6 inches from source of heat until cheese is soft , slightly melted and topping is bubbly.

---

Serve warm with strawberries or cookies.

---

Variations: replace brown sugar , pecans and butter with 1 / 4 cup apricot jam mixed with 2 tsp.

---

Brandy.

---

After removing top rind from cheese , prick surface with fork and pour 1 tsp.

---

More brandy over all.

---

Top with apricot mixture and bake in 350 degree oven 10 minutes.

Sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds to serve.
