This elegant baked brie is the perfect appetizer for any gathering, transforming a simple cheese into a luxurious experience. The creamy, melted brie enveloped in a sweet and tangy cranberry sauce, topped with crunchy pecans and aromatic rosemary, creates a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.

Serves 8

Ingredients

Brie cheese
1 round (8 oz)
Cranberry sauce
1/2 cup
Honey
2 tablespoons
Chopped pecans
1/4 cup
Fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
Crackers or bread
for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the brie cheese in the center.
  3. Bake the brie for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and gooey to the touch.
  4. While the brie is baking, prepare the cranberry sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the cranberry sauce and honey. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and slightly bubbly.
  5. Once the brie is ready, carefully transfer it to a serving platter.
  6. Pour the warm cranberry sauce over the baked brie, ensuring it flows over the edges.
  7. Sprinkle the top with chopped pecans and garnish with fresh rosemary.
  8. Serve immediately with an assortment of crackers or slices of crusty bread.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider mixing the chopped pecans with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil before sprinkling them on top.
  • 💡 Feel free to substitute cranberry sauce with fig jam or apple chutney for a different flavor profile.
  • 💡 Serve with a selection of cheeses and charcuterie for an impressive cheese board.
