Ingredients
- 8 oz wheel Brie cheese
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup orange juice (I find this is about the equivalent of the juice of 1 orange)
- Zest from 1 orange
- 1/4 cup orange marmalade
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 3 Tbsp honey
Garnish
- fresh Rosemary
Dippers
- Apple slices we love using honeycrisp
- crackers
- Toasted baguette slices ** see recipe for that in the chef notes section below the instructions **
Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a cast iron skillet (or other oven save skillet). You can also use an 8x8" baking dish, just lightly grease it.
Cup of Yum
Make cranberry orange mixture
- Add the dried cranberries and orange juice to a food processor and pulse 10-20 times, until the cranberries are chopped into small pieces.
- If you don't have a food processor or would rather not use one, just use a sharp kitchen knife to finely chop the cranberries and add them to a bowl with the orange juice.
- Add the contents of the food processor to a small mixing bowl, then add the orange zest and orange marmalade and stir to combine well.
Assemble and bake
- Add the wheel of brie (leave the rind on) to the center of the skillet or baking dish. Top with the cranberry mixture, then top with walnuts, and drizzle with honey.
- Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until gooey inside. Use a spoon or butter knife to gently press on the top, and it should feel liquid-y inside.
Serve
- Serve immediately with desired dippers. I find having a cheese knife (or just a butter knife), to help break into the rind is helpful. Enjoy!
Notes
- Toasted baguette slices:
- I've estimated this serves approximately 6 people, but the exact serving size is up to you.
- 1 french baguette
- olive oil
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Slice baguette into roughly 1/4 - 1/2 inch slices and add to a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
- Brush each slice with olive oil.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until as golden brown as you'd like.
