Baked Cherries Pecan Brie Recipe
Make an epic charcuterie board with a Baked Cherries Pecan Brie Recipe in the center! Build around it with meats, fruits, crackers, and dips!
Good morning, Friends. I received the best thank you note in the mail last week. You may remember my Instagram post, sharing this beautiful charcuterie, with Baked Cherries Pecan Brie Recipe as the center star recipe.
Baked Cherries Pecan Brie Recipe
This recipe I like to think of as “soul food,” and I’ll tell you why.
We had all of our neighbors who live in our cul-de-sac over for an appetizer dinner last week. I was nervous! Funny, so many of you have shared that you get nervous, too, when having new people over.
My nervousness stemmed from living in our neighborhood for almost 2 years, and not doing this sooner! Serving a charcuterie board is easy, and everyone seems to love it. It has a variety of foods on it, so you don’t have to worry about special diets. It’s inviting, pretty, tasty, and creates good conversation!
Not only did we have a wonderful time with these amazing people who live next door, but the note that came by snail mail after included words like these, happy words:
Thank you for inviting us for drinks and sumptuous and scrumptious appetizers – aka dinner!
So much to talk about from cutting boards to coyotes to our community …
We may be somewhat reluctant entertainers, but we will rally and have everyone over!
Yes!!
Baked Cherries Brie with pecans
I like to think of inviting new people in as good for your soul. You don’t know what to expect–will they like you, will they like our food, where will the conversation go … those kinds of questions.
(These easy ingredients … check!)
Hosting is good for our souls! It challenges us, opens our eyes, shows us how to love more, helps us listen better, and brings us community when we need it most.

Making a Charcuterie with Baked Honeyed Cherries Brie Recipe:
- Grab a large board. Make sure it is “food safe,” or if not, cover with parchment paper.
- Layer your favorite cured meats, dipping sauces, crackers, bread, fruit, veggies, and dips.
- Make 1 recipe the “centerpiece.” For this board, it’s Baked Honeyed Cherries Brie Recipe.
- Bake right before you’re ready to present the charcuterie board. Serve hot and gooey!
Oh, and late into the evening … the board was pretty much devoured!
Sometimes I clean up at night, and sometimes I just hit the bed with a happy heart :)
I hope this post inspires you to invite your neighbors!
Cheers!

Baked Cherries Pecan Brie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 small, 8-12 ounce round of brie
- 1 generous cup dried cherries, we buy at Costco, our favorite dried cherries
- 1/8 cup honey
- 1 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
- Fresh rosemary
- Thinly sliced baguette, for serving, or favorite crackers (we love Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crisps Cranberry and Hazelnut Crackers)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place brie round on an ovenproof serving dish. I like to lay parchment paper down on a baking sheet.
- Slice the top of the brie round off, cutting inward to make a bowl. Remove the “lid.”
- Fill the bowl with the dried cherries and 1/2 cup pecans. Drizzle with 1/2 the honey (1/8 cup). Sprinkle with 1/2 the finely chopped fresh rosemary. Place the lid on top, pushing down. (It’s okay if a little bit falls to the side).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese inside the rind is melted and bubbly.
- Drizzle with the rest of honey and sprinkle with fresh rosemary!
- Serve hot with your favorite crackers or baguette bread slices.

What are some of the items on the board, are those oils in the small bowls?
Thank you

Just wondering how many people you served this board to? It looks fabulous and I so love baked Brie. I am wanting to do something like this and it would be for eight adults. I want to have enough food but I also don’t want tons left over. Thanks
I’d say it’s good for 8-12 people :) But again if people are just grazing for a few bites, it could feed 20!
I want to be your neighbor :)
We’ve never had neighbors over. Definitely something to consider. I’ve brought goodies to them but never invited them over for a meal or appetizer :/
Hope next time you include some of your neighbors from the next circle.
