Onion Cranberry Pecan Baked Brie

Step one is to slice the top rind off of the cheese. You don’t have to be that precise about this part. Caramelize onions until they are very brown, about 45 minutes! Add in a few chopped dried cranberries and a minced habanero with all the seeds. Drop your brie into a nice baking dish thats only slightly bigger than the cheese itself. Then top it with the onion mixture. Bake for about a half hour. While the cheese is cooking, throw a few chopped pecans onto the stove with a little brown sugar and butter. When the cheese is ready add in the pecans and mix the whole thing up well. As you can see, it forms a nice cheesy sauce that is perfect for dipping things into! Serve this at your christmas party and people will go wild for it! Take the seeds out of the habanero if you want to tone the heat down a little, but I thought that the heat was a nice balance for the sweetness and deep umami flavors. Served with crunchy bagel chips, this dip was a real winner!
