Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) wheel of Brie cheese
  • ½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • ⅓ cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme, finely chopped (optional)
  • Crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Brie:
    Place the Brie wheel on the prepared baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish. You may leave the rind on (it’s edible and helps hold the cheese together).
  3. Add Toppings:
    Spoon cranberry sauce evenly over the top of the Brie. Sprinkle with toasted pecans and drizzle with honey. Add fresh herbs if using.
  4. Bake:
    Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the Brie is soft and melty but not collapsing.
  5. Serve Warm:
    Let rest for 3–5 minutes before serving. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy with crackers or sliced bread.

Notes

  • Puff Pastry Option: Wrap the Brie in puff pastry before baking for a more decadent presentation.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble (without baking) up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate.
  • Nut-Free Version: Omit pecans or substitute with pumpkin seeds.
  • Extra Flavor: Add a splash of orange zest or balsamic glaze.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated.

This Cranberry Pecan Baked Brie is warm, gooey, and irresistibly elegant. Creamy brie melts to perfection in the oven, then is topped with sweet-tart cranberries and crunchy pecans for the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
