Description
A warm, gooey baked brie topped with a sweet and tangy cranberry-pecan mixture and a drizzle of honey glaze, perfect for holiday gatherings or as an elegant appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 (8-ounce) wheel of brie cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh or dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 sheet puff pastry (optional, for wrapping)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, if using pastry)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If using puff pastry, roll it out slightly and place the brie wheel in the center. Fold the pastry over the brie, trimming excess, and brush with beaten egg.
- In a small bowl, mix cranberries, pecans, brown sugar, and thyme. Spread this mixture over the top of the brie (or over the pastry-wrapped brie).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the brie is soft and the topping is bubbly. Drizzle with honey before serving warm with crackers or bread.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste.
