The Best Keto Baked Brie with Pecans
This keto baked Brie is a creamy, warm, and flavorful low-carb appetizer topped with buttery pecans, sugar-free maple syrup, cinnamon, and fresh rosemary. It is easy to prepare and perfect for holidays, dinner parties, cheese boards, and entertaining.
Ingredients
- 1 wheel Brie cheese approximately 8–9 ounces
- ⅓ cup chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon low-carb brown sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely chopped, optional
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, or 175°C. Line a small baking dish or baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unwrap the Brie and place it in the prepared oven-safe dish. Leave the rind on.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped pecans and toast for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the sugar-free maple syrup, low-carb brown sweetener, cinnamon, rosemary, and sea salt.
- Stir until the pecans are evenly coated, then remove the skillet from the heat.
- Spoon the pecan mixture over the top of the Brie.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the center of the Brie becomes soft and creamy.
- Remove from the oven and allow the Brie to rest for 1–2 minutes.
- Serve warm with keto crackers, cucumber slices, celery sticks, bell pepper strips, or other low-carb dippers.
Notes
- Keep the Brie rind on while baking to help the cheese maintain its shape.
- Avoid overbaking, as the cheese may melt completely and spread across the dish.
- You can replace the pecans with walnuts, almonds, or macadamia nuts.
- For a savory version, omit the sweetener and add garlic, thyme, black pepper, or olive oil.
- Check the labels of your sugar-free maple syrup and sweetener for their carbohydrate content.
