3 Minute Melty Festive Brie (Speed Baked Brie)

Ingredients

• 1 (250 g / 8 oz) whole brie (Note 1)
• 1/4 cup roughly chopped pecans, roasted (Note 2)
• 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
• 1/4 cup maple syrup

Steps

1. Unwrap brie and place on a small microwave-proof plate with a rim (so maple syrup doesn’t go everywhere).
2. 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.
3. 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.
