Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1014 Ounce Round Brie

Toppings

  • ½ Cup Chunky Cranberry Sauce
  • ¼ Cup Chopped Pecans
  • 1 Full Sprig Fresh Rosemary
  • Drizzle of Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Bake the Brie: Place the whole round of brie on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until the center becomes soft and slightly gooey.
  3. Add toppings: Remove the brie from the oven carefully. Spoon the chunky cranberry sauce evenly over the top of the warm cheese. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the cranberry sauce, and place a full sprig of fresh rosemary on top. Drizzle a little olive oil over everything to add richness and flavor.
  4. Serve: Serve the cranberry baked brie immediately while warm, paired with bagel chips or your favorite crackers for dipping and spreading.

Notes

  • Keep an eye on the brie while baking to avoid over-melting or leaking.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
  • Fresh rosemary adds an aromatic touch but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Serve promptly after baking for the best, melty texture.
  • This appetizer pairs well with sparkling wine or a crisp white wine.
