How to Make Nutty Cheese Brulee

Remove rind from 4 ounces of your favorite firm cheese (like Brie or Camembert) and place it in the center of a non-metal plate or small, shallow oven-safe dish.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of your favorite ice cream topping (e.g., caramel, chocolate sauce, fruit preserves) over the cheese.
Sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
Microwave uncovered on high power (100%) for 15-20 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and slightly puffed. Keep a close eye on it as microwave ovens vary.
Immediately serve with 2-3 unsalted crackers or slices of baguette and 1/4 cup of sliced apple or pear. Enjoy!
