Make this simple, elegant baked Brie topped with cranberry sauce and pecans for a perfect sweet and savory holiday appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) wheel of Brie cheese
  • 1/2 cup cranberry preserves or sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon butter, softened
  • Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a small, oven-safe baking dish.
  2. Remove the Brie from its packaging. Place the entire wheel of Brie, rind and all, into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the cranberry preserves, chopped pecans, brown sugar, and softened butter until combined.
  4. Spoon the cranberry-pecan mixture evenly over the top of the Brie wheel.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and melted when gently pressed.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve immediately with crackers or bread for dipping.

Notes

  • If you are planning meals for the week, this appetizer is quick enough that you do not need to rely on meal planning services.
  • For a different flavor profile, try using fig jam instead of cranberry preserves.
  • If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the pecans.
