Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 (8 oz) wheel of brie cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
- Crackers or sliced baguette for serving
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, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until cranberries burst and sauce thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in honey and orange zest.
- Score the top of the brie lightly with a knife, then spoon the cranberry sauce over it. Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly on top.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until brie is soft and slightly melted. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving warm with crackers or baguette slices.
