Baked Honey & Walnut Brie

Warm brie cheese with a sweet and crunchy nut topping

I've had a love of brie cheese since an early age, and almost all my significant relationships have resulted in a shared love of some of the world's greatest cheese. I went to a lot of happy hours in college, or would host my own "wine and cheese night" where my girlfriends and I would buy bottles of cheap wine and spend double or triple the price on a nice wedge of brie. It was at one happy hour where I discovered a dish that incorporated brie, honey, and nuts, and I've been making a version of this appetizer ever since. It's a great dish to serve for friends... if you're willing to share.
