    1/4 cup brown sugar
    2 tablespoons butter or margarine
    1/2 cup sliced almonds

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

    Froms cooks.com:

    1 (8-10 inch) round Brie cheese
    1 c. chutney, finely chopped
    1/2 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled
    1/4 c. green onion, including tops, minced
    Your choice of crackers
    Place Brie in a 10 inch ovenproof dish or quiche dish; spread chutney to within one inch of edge. Top with crumbled bacon. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from oven and top with green onion. Serve hot Brie with crackers. Serves 16-20.

    Baked Brie with Carmelized Onions
    2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
    *8 cups sliced onions (about 4 large)
    *1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
    *4 garlic cloves, chopped
    *1/2 cup dry white wine
    *1 teaspoon sugar
    *1 8-inch-diameter 32-36 ounce French Brie, packed in wooden box (reserve box)
    *2 French bread baguettes, sliced

    Melt butter in a heavy, very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until just tender, about 6 minutes. Add minced thyme, reduce heat to medium and cook until onions are golden, stirring often, about 25 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup wine; stir until almost all liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle sugar over onions and sauté until soft and brown, about 10 minutes. Add remaining 1/4 cup wine; stir just until liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool.
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Unwrap Brie, reserving bottom of wooden box. Cut away only top rind of cheese, leaving rind on sides and bottom intact. Return Brie to box, rind side down. Place box on baking sheet. Top Brie evenly with onion mixture. Bake until cheese just melts, about 30 minutes. Transfer Brie in box in platter. Surround with baguette slices.

    *Ahead of time note: The carmelized onions can be made up to 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.

    1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1/2 cup butter
    1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1 ounce amaretto
    1 round Brie cheese
    3 tablespoons almonds

    Instructions:
    Mix brown sugar with butter and cook on the stove, stirring until thick. Add dash cinnamon and nutmeg and then mix in amaretto to taste. Pour sauce over Brie round and add almonds. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes, or microwave at 30-second intervals until cheese gets soft. Serve with crackers or baguette slices.
