Equipment

Oven
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Shallow dish
Mixing bowl
Measuring spoons

Ingredients

8 oz Brie Cheese
1 cup Pecans, finely crushed
¼ cup Almond flour
1 Egg, beaten large
2 tablespoons Butter, melted
½ teaspoon Smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
¼ teaspoon Salt
⅛ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Sugar-free Honey
⅛ teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the crushed pecans, almond flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the crust mixture.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg until well mixed.
Dip the brie cheese first into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
Next, press the brie into the pecan mixture, turning to coat all sides evenly.
Place the coated brie on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the pecan crust is golden and the brie starts to ooze slightly.
While the brie bakes, prepare the spicy honey by combining sugar-free honey with a pinch of cayenne pepper. Adjust the cayenne to taste for desired spiciness.
Once the brie is baked, let it rest for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a serving dish.
Drizzle the spicy honey over the brie and serve immediately.

Notes

For a nuttier flavor, toast the pecans lightly before crushing them.

Ensure the brie is well-chilled before coating to prevent it from melting too quickly in the oven.

Serve with keto-friendly crackers or vegetable sticks for dipping.

The spicy honey can be adjusted to taste, and a sugar-free honey alternative helps maintain the low-carb profile of this dish.
