Notes
1. I prefer brie over camembert for this because it has a higher fat content (~60% vs ~45%) so it's softer to scoop up. But it does work with camembert as well. I use a standard 250g/8oz size round brie that I get from the supermarket - nothing fancy. Save the expensive brie for eating as is!
2. Pecans come in packets already roasted, but if you happen to have raw ones, roast them in the oven for 5 minutes.
3. Adapt this to your taste! Adjust the toppings as follows:- Pecans: Use whatever nuts you want.- Pomegranate seeds: Use anything with a bit of sweet juiciness, like blueberries, red currents or even small grapes, chopped. I opt out of using dried fruit because they are very sweet / a bit too chewy (e.g. cranberries).- Maple syrup: Honey, golden syrup, blueberry or other sweet sauce.
4. Crackers to serve (I used bagel chips, good size / shape for scooping).
5. Nutrition per serving assuming 8 servings.
