1. Make the pecan crackers and set aside.
2. Saute the nuts and make the sauce. This can be done in advance.
3. If taking to a party or making ahead, simply warm the sticky nut sauce prior to pouring all over the round of brie and serve with the pecan crackers.
Pecan meal easily becomes crispy, delightful crackers. Add extra seeds and flavors as you like. If the dough seems to fall apart, just press and piece it together, cut into crackers and then bake them up. If you do not have pecan meal, blend up about 2 cups of whole pecans in a food processor until the mixture is crumbly. Do not blend too long or the oils will release and it will eventually turn into pecan butter.
This little appetizer is easier than it sounds as you make a quick caramelized pecans with a bit of kahlua that you dump on top of a hunk of brie. I usually do a small round brie, but a wedge works too. Serve it with your favorite crackers or thin French bread toasts. A garnish of sage and dried cranberries would be a lovely addition.
