Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce
Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce combines a warm, melty wheel of Brie cheese topped with tangy-sweet cranberry sauce and crunchy pistachios. The cheese softens into a creamy, spreadable texture while the cranberries add brightness, all enhanced by optional fresh herbs and orange zest. This dish works well as a simple appetizer or snack, especially when paired with flavorful gluten-free crackers.
