Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz brie cheese wheel
- 1/3 cup pepper jelly jam
- 3 Tbsp cispy prosciutto bits
- 2 Tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts optional
Instructions
- Add the slices of prosciutto to a large skillet and cook over medium high heat for about 1-2 minutes per side, until crispy dark red on both sides. (Do not overcrowd the pan, you might need to fry in batches.)
- Remove the crispy prosciutto from the skillet and chop into bits. (You can prepare the crispy prosciutto bits ahead of time.)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Unwrap the brie cheese wheel and lightly score the top. Score by slicing the brie about ¼- ½ deep, then turn the wheel and repeat to make a crisscross pattern. (Do not cut all the way through the cheese and keep the cuts toward the center—not the edges.)
- Transfer the scored wheel into a 6- or 8-inch cast iron skillet or onto a lined baking sheet.
- Add the pepper jelly jam on top of the brie cheese, spread it evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle with chopped nuts and crispy prosciutto bits.
- Bake at 350°F for about 15-16 minutes, or until soft and brie cheese is melted in the center.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme and serve warm.
- Enjoy with crostini, crackers, fruit, bagel chips, etc.
