Brandied Bacon Baked Brie

1 round crusty bread, about 8-inch diameter
1 (16 ounces) Brie wheel, 6-inch diameter
4 Tbs. maple bacon onion jam , divided
1/3 cup crumbled crispy bacon, about 6 slices
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
2 Tbs, packed brown sugar
2 Tbs. 100% pure maple syrup
1 Tbs. Bourbon

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Using a sharp knife, cut a 6-inch circular shape in top of bread and carefully hollow out enough of the inside of the bread so cheese will fit inside.

3. Trim white rind off top of cheese wheel. Cut cheese in half horizontally.

4. Spread 2 Tbs. jam on tops of each cheese half.

5. In small bowl combine bacon, pecans, brown sugar, maple syrup and Bourbon. Spread bacon mixture over jam, dividing evenly between both cheese halves.

6. Place bottom cheese half in bread bowl, bacon side up, and top with remaining cheese half, bacon side up.

7. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake 25 minutes or until cheese is heated through. Unwrap and let stand 15 minutes.

Slice and enjoy!

Makes 16 servings.
