Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounce round Brie cheese
- ½ cup cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped pistachios
Optional Garnish
- Fresh herb sprigs
- Orange zest
Instructions
- Prep the Brie. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the Brie round on a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a Brie baker to prepare for baking.
- Top and bake. Spoon the cranberry sauce evenly over the top of the Brie. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese becomes soft and melty but not completely melted down.
- Serve. Remove the Brie from the oven and sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios on top. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs and a sprinkle of orange zest for a bright, festive touch. Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette.
Notes
- This baked Brie with cranberry sauce is a perfect festive appetizer for holidays and special occasions.
- The total preparation and cooking time is under 15 minutes, making it great for last-minute entertaining.
- Use fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme for garnish to complement the flavors beautifully.
- Serve immediately for best texture and taste, as the Brie tends to firm up as it cools.
