Method

  1. Preheat the oven

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Step 1

  2. Make the candied pecans

    • In a nonstick pan over medium heat, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, sea salt, vanilla extract, and water.
    • Stir and cook until the mixture has become thick and melted, about 5 minutes.
    • Turn off the heat and add in the pecan halves, stirring to evenly coat them in the candy mixture.
    • Set aside to cool by spreading them in an even layer on a piece of parchment paper.
    Step 2

  3. Make the crispy prosciutto

    • Spread prosciutto out on a foil-lined baking sheet.
    • Bake until crispy, about 10 minutes.
    • Set aside.
    Step 3

  4. Bake the brie

    • Carefully remove the top of the brie and drizzle honey on.
    • Bake at 350°F (175°C) on a heat-safe plate until gooey, 5-7 minutes.
    Step 4

  5. Brûlée the sugar

    • Sprinkle sugar on top of the brie.
    • Using a kitchen torch (or the oven's broiler function), brûlée the sugar on top until it's deep brown and all melted.
    • Allow to harden.
    Step 5

  6. Top and serve

    • Top the brie with the candied pecans (broken into small pieces), the crispy prosciutto (broken into small crumbles), the pomegranate arils, and chopped rosemary.
    • Serve with crackers and bread.
