Président® Brie & Bacon Bites

Ingredients
Amount | Ingredient |
---|---|
2 tbsp. | Brown Sugar, packed |
2 tsp. | Good Quality Maple Syrup |
3 tbsp. | Pecans, finely chopped |
1/4 tsp. | Black Pepper |
1/4 tsp. | Salt |
1 pinch | Cayenne Pepper |
4 slices | Thick-Cut Bacon |
1 | Small Baguette (or 1/2 a Large Baguette), sliced into 1/4-inch pieces |
3 1/2 tbsp. | Président® Unsalted Butter, softened |
1 wedge | Président® Triple Crème Brie |
Preheat oven to 375°F
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray a wire rack with non-stick cooking spray and place on the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, syrup, pecans, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Place bacon on wire rack, making sure the slices aren’t touching. Evenly spread sugar mixture on top of each slice. Bake 25-30 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the topping is nicely browned.
- Remove from oven, let cool to room temperature, and then chop the candied bacon into very small pieces.
- Cut the Président® Triple Crème Brie lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices. Then, cut those slices in half (or thirds, depending on the size of your baguette).
- Spread Président® Unsalted Butter on one side of each baguette slice.
- Place 1 slice of Président® Triple Crème Brie on the unbuttered side of each baguette slice. Top with a sprinkling of candied bacon and a second slice of Brie. Cover each one with a buttered baguette slice.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the grilled cheese bites in the pan. Cook for about 1 minute on each side, or until the sandwiches are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
