Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 (8-ounce) wheel of brie cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/4 cup pomegranate juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place brie wheel on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.
- In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, pomegranate juice, honey, and cinnamon. Simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and sauce thickens slightly.
- In a separate small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped walnuts and toast for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat.
- Pour the cranberry-pomegranate glaze over the brie wheel, then sprinkle with toasted walnuts.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until brie is soft and slightly melted. Serve immediately with crackers or baguette slices.
