1. Preheat the Oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your brie will melt beautifully when it’s time to bake.

2. Prepare the Turkey Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until it’s crispy but not completely cooked through. This step helps render some of the fat and ensures that it will crisp up nicely in the oven.

3. Candy the Bacon

Once the turkey bacon is crispy, remove it from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Dip each slice of turkey bacon into this mixture, making sure to coat it well.

4. Wrap the Brie

Place the round of brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Carefully wrap each slice of candied turkey bacon around the brie, overlapping slightly to ensure it’s well covered. This not only looks beautiful but also creates a delicious layer of flavor.

5. Bake

Once the brie is wrapped, place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent the bacon from burning. You want the brie to be soft and gooey, but the bacon should be crispy.

6. Garnish and Serve

After baking, let the brie cool for a minute before serving. You can garnish it with fresh herbs for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve it warm with an assortment of crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices for dipping.
