A delicious keto-friendly appetizer featuring warm, creamy brie cheese topped with caramelized pecans.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 (8 oz) wheel creamy brie cheese
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup brown erythritol sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This allows your brie to melt perfectly.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, beaten egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Press the dough into a 9-inch pie dish or a small oven-safe skillet, creating an even layer on the bottom and slightly up the sides.
Place the brie cheese in the center of the crust. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and bubbly.
While the cheese is baking, prepare the caramelized pecans. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped pecans, brown erythritol, vanilla extract, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the pecans are coated and toasted.
Once the brie is baked, remove it from the oven and top with the caramelized pecans.
Serve warm with low-carb crackers or sliced vegetables for dipping.
