Description
A show-stopping holiday appetizer that combines warm, melty brie with bright cranberry flavor wrapped in golden pastry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8-ounce) wheel of brie cheese
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (about 9x9 inches) or 1 can of refrigerated crescent dough
- 1/2 cup thick cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
- 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
- Fresh rosemary (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread cranberry sauce mixed with honey and chopped pecans over the top of the brie.
- Cut the pastry into 1/2-inch strips.
- Lay the pastry strips around the brie to create a wreath shape.
- Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until the pastry is deep golden and the cheese is soft.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving board and garnish with fresh rosemary.
Notes
Chill the assembled wreath for 10–15 minutes before baking for a flakier texture. Use thick cranberry compote to prevent soggy pastry.
