How To Make Baked Brie With Jam

Full instructions are below, but here are the basics:

Toast the pecans. Save your baking sheet to put the pan you use to bake the brie on to catch any drips and make it easier to transfer to the oven.
Trim the top off of the brie. Place in a small round baking dish or oven-safe pan. Bake 10 minutes until cheese is warmed.
Make jam mixture. While the brie bakes, stir together the jam, rosemary, and crushed red pepper.
Top the brie with the jam mixture. Bake 5 to 10 minutes longer, until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with toasted pecans and garnish with additional rosemary. Serve with crackers or toasted baguette slices.
