Instructions

Toast the pecans. Spread the chopped pecans over a rimmed sheet pan and toast for 5-8 minutes in a 400°F oven, or until golden brown. They will smell fantastic. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. This can be done in advance.
If you were not toasting the pecans directly before making the baked brie, now is the time to preheat the oven to 400°F. Find a small cast-iron skillet or a brie baker to use as your baking vessel and set aside.
Use a sharp knife to score the 7 oz. brie wheel Make ¼” deep slices in the top of the wheel of cheese, creating a criss-cross pattern.
Place the scored wheel of brie into the cast-iron skillet and top with pepper jelly. Spread ¼ cup pepper jelly over the top of the brie in an even layer so that the entire surface of the wheel of cheese is coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, gooey, and delicious.
Remove from the oven and top with 2 tablespoons toasted pecans.
Serve with your favorite dippers, be they baguette slices, crackers, apple slices or more, and enjoy immediately.
