Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce
Description
The Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce recipe prepares Brie cheese by cutting a small circle in the rind to form a shallow well, which is filled with cranberry sauce before baking. Heating at a high temperature softens the cheese until it begins to melt, while the cranberry sauce heats through and bubbles slightly. This creates a contrast of creamy cheese and tangy fruit topping. Adding chopped maple-glazed pecans on top adds texture and sweetness that complements the cranberry sauce.
Serving the baked Brie warm with crackers or sliced bread provides a balanced appetizer where the cracker adds crunch and acts as a utensil for the melted cheese and fruit. The recipe’s simplicity highlights the flavor pairing of Brie and cranberry.
Ingredients
- cranberry sauce 1/2 - 1 cup, prepared
- Brie cheese your choice of size
- pecans maple glazed, 1/4 - 1/3 cup
- Cracker or bread
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a small pan (round cake pan works well) with parchment paper.
- Cut a small circle into the rind of the cheese forming a shallow hole. Add about 1/3-1/2 cup of cranberry sauce. Bake until cheese begins to melt and sauce begins to bubble. Remove from heat and top with chopped pecans. Serve with crackers or slicked bread.
