  • 1/3 cup Pecans (chopped)
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Fresh Thyme or Rosemary (for garnishing)
  • 8 oz block Feta
  • ¼ cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • ¾ cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • 2 tbsp. Honey + more for garnishing
  • 1 tsp. Fresh Thyme + more for garnishing
  • Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
  • Chopped Roasted Pecans (or candied pecans, for garnishing)
  • 1 large Yellow Onion (finely chopped or sliced)
  • 2 tbsp. Butter
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/3 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/3 cup Freshly Chopped Herbs (such as parsley, basil, and chives)

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. 2

    On a parchment paper line baking pan, toss together the chopped pecans, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Roast for 10-15 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized. Let cool to add to the brie later.

  3. 3

    Unwrap the brie and place in a shallow, small ovenproof dish.

  4. 4

    Add the pumpkin butter on top and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until fully melted. If needed, use a knife or spoon to swirl the pumpkin butter into the melted brie.

  5. 5

    Top with the caramelized pecans, fresh herbs, and enjoy with Milton’s GF Crispy Sea Salt Crackers!

  6. 6

    In a blender, combine all ingredients to pulse until smooth.

  7. 7

    Add the whipped feta to a serving dish to top with the chopped pecans, more fresh thyme, and honey to enjoy with Milton’s GF Everything Crackers.

  8. 8

    In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the butter to melt.

  9. 9

    Add the thinly sliced onions to sauté for 5 minutes, then add ¼ cup water to stir until evaporated. Repeat this process of adding water and sauteing until evaporated until the onions are deeply caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. If needed, chop the caramelized onions into fine bits.

  10. 10

    In a bowl, combine the chopped caramelized onions, chopped herbs, sour cream, yogurt, grated garlic clove, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  11. 11

    Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and more chives to enjoy with Milton’s GF Olive Oil & Salt Crackers!
