Amaretto Brie Appetizer
There's nothing like serving this yummy Amaretto Brie appetizer. Especially when you watch everyone diving into it without leaving a trace behind. Your friends and guests will beg you for this recipe. It's simple to make and the creamy almond flavor is fantastic with a baguette or gourmet-type crackers.
What you'll need: - 1/2 cup brown sugar (firmly packed) - 1/2 cup butter - 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon - 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg - 1 oz. of amaretto liqueur - 1 round of Brie cheese - 1/4 cup sliced almonds (chopped walnuts will work also) - Toast points, sliced apples, baquette or crackers First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Then melt the butter and add the brown sugar in a heavy sauce pan. Stir until heated through and consistency is smooth and thick. Remove the pan from the heat and add cinnamon, nutmeg and the Amaretto. Mix ingredients well. Next, place the Brie round (remove Brie from packaging) in an oven-safe dish. Take the sauce you just created and pour over the Brie. Then, top the sauce with the sliced almonds. All you need to do is bake it for 10 or 15 minutes until the cheese is soft. You could also microwave it if you are in a big hurry. But only put it in the microwave for 30 second intervals until it is soft and warm. If you microwave it for too long you will end up with Amaretto Brie appetizer soup, and that is not what we want here! You can serve the melted Brie on a pretty plate surrounded by apple slices, sliced baguette and crackers. It will fast disappear!
