Servings: 4 servings
- ½ pound red Grapes from California
- 8 ounces brie
- 2 strips beef bacon thinly sliced, substitute pork or turkey
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
- ½ cup raw unsalted walnuts
- 2 Belgian endives leaves separated, for serving
- 1 bartlett pear thinly sliced, for serving
- 1 cup almond flour crackers for serving, substitute crackers of choice
Preheat oven or Traeger grills to 400F.
Place the brie in the center of an oven-safe baking dish and surround it with the grapes, sliced bacon and rosemary. Drizzle the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar overtop and season with black pepper.
Transfer the baking dish to the oven or Traeger and bake until the bacon is slightly crispy, the grapes are slightly tender and the brie is very soft to the touch, around 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the walnuts to a dry skillet. Set it over medium-low heat and toast the nuts, stirring regularly, until they turn golden and fragrant, around 8 minutes. Transfer the walnuts to a cutting board and roughly chop them.
Transfer the brie and grapes to a serving platter and spoon the bacon and sauce overtop. Serve with the endive leaves, pear and crackers.
