Description
Warm baked brie topped with tart cranberries and crunchy pistachios makes a perfect holiday appetizer or elegant snack everyone will love
Ingredients
Scale
1 round (8 oz) Brie cheese
1/3 cup fresh or thawed cranberries
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon orange zest
Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional)
Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This moderate temperature ensures the brie melts evenly without burning the toppings.
Place the wheel of brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish. Optionally, score the top lightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cranberries, honey, chopped pistachios, and orange zest together to create the topping.
Spoon the cranberry-pistachio mixture evenly over the top of the brie, leaving the edges visible to brown slightly.
Tuck a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary into the topping if using.
Bake the brie for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is soft and starting to bubble and the topping is glossy.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly and cool for serving.
Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette.
Notes
