This Grilled Brie Appetizer with Balsamic Strawberries is the perfect, ridiculously easy appetizer for your next cook-out! I am making it again for the 4th of July!
Add balsamic and brown sugar to a small saucepan. Over high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 20 minutes. This makes more than you will need. Store the leftover glaze in the refrigerator and use it on salads, veggies, etc.
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar, 2 tbsp brown sugar
Toast pecans in dry cast or stainless pan on both sides. Rough chop toasted pecans.
1/3 cup pecans, rough chopped
Mix strawberries, pecans and 2 tablespoons of the balsamic glaze. Add basil just before serving.
Place brie wheel on a sheet of parchment paper that is resting on a piece of aluminum foil.
1 wheel of brie (mine was 17.6 oz.)
Bake for 15 minutes or so, until, when cheese is poked, you can feel the inside is thoroughly melted.
Top with strawberries and drizzle with additional balsamic glaze. Serve with toasted baguette slices or sturdy crackers.
