Description

A festive, warm baked brie topped with sweet-tart cranberries, crunchy pecans, and vibrant pomegranate seeds, perfect for holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 (8 oz) wheel of brie cheese
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Crackers or sliced baguette for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place brie wheel on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add cranberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, and cinnamon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until cranberries soften and sauce thickens slightly.
  3. Stir in chopped pecans, then spoon the cranberry-pecan mixture over the brie wheel. Bake for 12-15 minutes until brie is soft and gooey.
  4. Remove from oven, top with pomegranate seeds, and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with crackers or baguette slices.
