Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce round of brie cheese
- 0.5 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
- 1 package crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Unwrap the brie and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.
Spoon the cranberry sauce evenly over the top of the brie.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the cranberry sauce, spreading them out to cover evenly.
Drizzle the honey over the cranberry and pecan topping for added sweetness and shine.
Bake the brie in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is softened and slightly gooey but not completely melted.
Remove the brie from the oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, if desired.
Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette for dipping.
