Instructions
For the honeyed macadamias
- Take out your brie from the fridge to bring it to room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Line an oven tray with baking paper.
- Place the macadamias, honey, butter and salt on your tray and spread out evenly so that they are not touching. Place in the middle section of your oven.
- After five minutes, check on the nuts and stir, so that they can brown on all sides. Roast for a further 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

- Cut your Brie into small squares or thin wedges.
- Place all your ingredients (apart from the Brie) in a large mixing bowl, season and toss until well combined.
