Notes
- Brie: No need to remove all rind! Other cheeses like Gruyere or mozzarella would also work.
- Bacon: after the first bake the bacon will still be a bit raw, take it out at this time so the pecans don't burn. The bacon will continue to cook when you put the cups in the oven.
- Crescent Dough: If you prefer, use puff pastry instead for a flakier base. Homemade dough can be used to just be sue to roll it out to about 1/4" thickness.
- Maple Syrup: Real maple syrup makes all the difference, honey would also work.
- Serving: Best served warm. If prepping ahead, assemble the cups and refrigerate unbaked for up to 4 hours, then bake just before serving. Or to reheat, use the air fryer or a 300 degree oven.
