Notes
- Brie: If you can't find brie cheese, you can substitute with camembert. Brie has a milder taste while camembert has a slightly deeper, more earthy taste.
- Pomegranate: You can also use cranberry sauce.
- Pecans: You can substitute with chopped walnuts or pistachios instead.
- Rosemary: Rosemary has a strong flavor, so you don't need much. You can also use fresh thyme.
- Bake the cheese straight from the fridge so that it softens instead of melting completely.
- Serve straight from the oven for best results.
- Storage: Store by wrapping the baking dish tightly in foil. Store in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
