  • 8 ounces brie cheese
  • ½ cup diced bacon
  • ⅓ cup chopped pecans
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease a mini muffin tin.
  3. Roll out crescent roll dough into one rectangle and press seams closed if needed.

  6. Cut brie into small chunks and place one piece into each dough cup.
  7. Stir together diced bacon and chopped pecans.
  8. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the bacon-pecan mixture on top of the brie in each cup.
  9. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of pure maple syrup over each cup, keeping it contained.

Notes

Dice bacon super small for even cooking and balanced flavor., Use roughly chopped pecans about the size of bacon pieces for consistent texture., Use real pure maple syrup for best flavor., Vegetarian option: omit bacon and add fruit jam like raspberry or fig instead., For variations, swap cheese (Camembert, goat cheese, Gruyère), meat (pancetta, prosciutto, sausage), nuts, sweeteners, or dough type as preferred., Baked leftovers keep up to 3 days in airtight container in fridge., For freezing, cool completely, freeze in single layer, then store in container or bag for several weeks., Reheat in 350°F oven 5–10 minutes; avoid microwave to maintain texture.
