Melted brie with cranberries, bacon and pecans | Olymel

Ingredients

• 100 g of naturally smoked bacon, chopped into 1/2 cm (1/4 in.) strips
• 1 brie wheel, 375 g
• 125 ml (1/2 cup) dried cranberries
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) pecans
• 75 ml (1/4 cup) port or cranberry juice
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 15 ml (1 tbsp.) fresh parsley, snipped
• In a bowl, combine cranberries with the port or cranberry juice and let soak 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
• In a pan, sweat the onion and bacon about 10 minutes and remove excess fat. Add cranberry mixture. Reduce until almost dry. Add the pecans.
• Place the cheese on a piece of aluminum foil about 30 cm (12 in.) long. Crimp foil around cheese so it keeps its shape during baking. Top cheese with garnish. Place on baking sheet.
