Ingredients
  

Baked Brie & Festive Toppings
  • 1 wheel (8-12 oz) French Brie or Camembert cheese (rind intact)
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce (or fresh cranberries simmered with 2 tbsp sugar)
  • 1/3 cup raw walnut halves or pecans, roughly chopped and toasted
  • 2 tbsp pure honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary needles, finely minced
  • 1/4 tsp orange zest (optional, for citrus aroma)
  • 1 loaf artisan crusty baguette or crackers for serving

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper, or place the brie wheel inside a small 6-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe brie baker.
  2. Using a sharp paring knife, gently score the top rind of the brie in a shallow crosshatch diamond pattern (do not cut all the way through, and do not remove the sides or bottom rind).
  3. Spoon whole berry cranberry sauce generously over the top of the scored brie wheel, allowing a few berries to tumble over the sides.
  4. Scatter toasted chopped walnuts, fresh rosemary, and orange zest over the cranberry layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of pure honey.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the brie feels very soft and molten when gently pressed in the center, and the cranberries are warm and bubbling.
  6. Remove from oven, drizzle with remaining tablespoon of honey, and serve immediately with warm sliced sourdough baguette, apple slices, and gourmet crackers.
