We’ve found that living happy lives means practicing community in our home, around our tables, and sharing what we’ve been given with others. Looking for a great appetizer to start off a party? You may have tried my popular Baked Lemon Pistachio Brie or Brie-Stuffed Cranberry Turkey Burger Recipe (that’s right, brie in the middle of a burger – YUM!)

You’ll love this easy Baked Marmalade Brie with Spicy Pecans. I always keep marmalade stocked in my pantry, just so I’m ready for this recipe!
Hospitality really does go further than a gourmet meal and a pretty setting. To me those are fun, but the heart of the matter is that connection—sometimes a soul connection, a connection with words, a physical connection.
Of course more importantly, if your marriage isn’t in order, then it’s almost impossible to have a happy home.
A few weeks ago I surprised my hubby with a note, to “meet me at the river at 5 pm.”
I rode my bike to the river, with a yummy appetizer and wine in my bike basket.
Baked Marmalade Brie with Spicy Pecans
Pulled out a tablecloth, this Orange Marmalade Brie with Pecans appetizer, and set up the wine.
And I waited.
So fun, we enjoyed nibbling on a few bites, and sipping wine.
Keeping “surprise” in marriage is so important. We can get all comfortable and never try new things, or we can venture out and take a risk. Moving over to Bend was taking a risk for us, and our family. But we tried it.
Great things never come from comfort zones. Right?
I hope this post today inspires you to do something new with your spouse, partner, or a friend in your life!

Baked Marmalade Brie with Spicy Pecans
Ingredients
- 1 small, 8 ounce round of brie
- 1 cup spicy pecans, we buy at Trader Joe’s, or you can make your own
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade + 2 Tbsp.
- Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- Sweetened Dried Orange Slices, I buy at Trader Joe’s
- Thinly sliced baguette, for serving, or favorite crackers (we love Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crisps Cranberry and Hazelnut Crackers)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place brie round in an ovenproof serving dish. Or, 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 marmalade and 1/2 cup of spicy almonds. Place the “lid" on top, pushing down. (It’s okay if a little bit falls to the side).
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the cheese inside the rind is melted and bubbly.
- Spread the remaining 2 Tbsp. marmalad on top. Sprinkle finely chopped fresh rosemary.
- Serve hot with your favorite crackers or baguette bread slices. Optional to serve with Sweetened Dried Orange Slices.

It’s been a long time since I baked brie, and this recipe is inspiring. I love the idea of orange marmalade, and spiced pecans make everything taste good. What is also inspiring is your story and advice about keeping the surprise in a marriage. It’s good to change things up, and what better person to have fun with than your best friend?
What a lovely recipe, and wonderful surprise for your husband. It’s the little things that make all the difference!
Another delicious idea for brie!
I always keep marmalade in the pantry as well. Sounds like a great way to use it,
Well, I’ve been married for 36 years, so I guess we’re doing all right, but I’d sure be excited if my husband planned a picnic with this baked Brie!!!
