Ingredients
- 1 wheel of Brie cheese (8 oz)
- 1/3 cup cranberry sauce (whole berry preferred)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional, for garnish)
- Crackers, baguette slices, or apple slices (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If using puff pastry, roll it slightly on a floured surface. Place Brie in the center of the pastry.
- Top the Brie with cranberry sauce, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with nuts if using.
- Fold puff pastry over Brie, sealing edges. Trim excess and brush with egg wash.
- Transfer to baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
- If not using puff pastry, place Brie on a baking dish, top with cranberry sauce and honey, and bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm with crackers, bread, or fruit.
Notes
- No need to remove the Brie rind—it’s edible and helps hold the shape.
- For best results with puff pastry, chill the assembled Brie for 15 minutes before baking.
- Use homemade or canned whole berry cranberry sauce for best texture.
