🥂 Cranberry Pecan Brie in Puff Pastry
Ingredients
-
1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
-
1 wheel of brie cheese (8 oz)
-
1/3 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or canned)
-
1/4 cup chopped pecans (toasted for extra flavor)
-
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
-
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzle)
-
Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven: 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Prepare pastry: Roll out puff pastry slightly on a floured surface. Place brie wheel in the center.
-
Add toppings: Spoon cranberry sauce over the brie. Sprinkle pecans on top. (Optional: drizzle with a little honey for extra sweetness.)
-
Wrap brie: Fold puff pastry up and over the cheese, pinching to seal. Trim excess pastry if needed. Flip wrapped brie seam-side down onto baking sheet.
-
Egg wash: Brush pastry with beaten egg for golden color.
-
Bake: 25–30 minutes, until pastry is golden brown and puffed.
-
Cool slightly & serve: Let rest 5–10 minutes before cutting (so cheese doesn’t spill out too quickly). Garnish with rosemary or thyme if desired.
✨ Serving Ideas:
-
Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices.
-
Add a little orange zest to the cranberry sauce for brightness.
-
For a savory twist, add a thin layer of caramelized onions under the cranberry.
