Tip: If you cook the maple syrup and bacon for too long, it caramelizes and gets SUPER sticky (making it hard to get out of the pan). Stir them together until they are warm and the bacon is completely coated in maple syrup. Right before serving, add the bacon bits back to the pan on medium heat and pour maple syrup over the bacon.

Carefully remove the pan from the burner and drain off the bacon grease. When they are crispy, remove the bacon bits from the pan and place them on a paper towel to soak up some of the grease. While the cheese is baking, cook the diced bacon bits in a skillet over medium heat until they become crispy.Place your wheel of brie (with the top cut off) on a parchment lined baking sheet. Once you have a preheated oven, place the brie cheese on a parchment lined, rimmed baking sheet, and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and just starting to melt.To prepare the maple bacon topping, cut the bacon strips into small pieces (dice it). Cut off the top rind of the brie cheese (if you are having trouble cutting the top off, try freezing your wheel of brie for a few minutes and then shaving off the top rind while it’s partially frozen).This is the perfect recipe to keep in mind for last-minute entertaining this holiday season!īrie, bacon and maple syrup is all you will need to make this easy appetizer.
