    Cranberry Pecan Baked Brie

    Published: Nov 28, 2017 · Modified: Sep 26, 2019 by Christina Dennis · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 14 Comments

    It's no contest - my favourite appetizer for Christmas time is baked brie. I adore cheese, and a wheel of brie all goey & yummy right from the oven is at the top of my list! For the last few years, I've made the same recipe, but this year I wanted to try something new. Meet my newest baked brie concoction: cranberry pecan baked brie. And if you want more appetizer recipes for all of your holiday gatherings this year, make sure to slide down to the bottom of this post for more ideas from my blogging friends.

    Cranberry Pecan Baked Brie Recipe

    My ultimate favourite combination of toppings for a baked brie cheese is something sweet and something savoury. Usually, I'll do a mix of apricot jam, walnuts and balsamic vinegar, but this time I tried an ingredient that's even more festive - cranberries.

    This baked brie wheel is topped with a a mixture of warmed honey, pecans, dried cranberries and balsamic vinegar and it's absolutely delicious!

    I happened to have all of the ingredients on hand, but if you don't feel free to sub different nuts or dried fruit to create your own signature baked brie topping.

    The first trick when baking a wheel of brie cheese is to slice off the top of the rind so that it's easier to dip into once it's baked.

    Then as you bake the cheese in a pie plate for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees F, you can create the simple topping on the stove.

    In a saucepan, I mix together ½ cup honey, 2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, ½ cup pecans and ½ cup dried cranberries. Stir everything on medium heat until it's warm and thick.

    Once the topping and the cheese are ready, simply mound the topping onto the baked brie and serve immediately with firm crackers and apple slices.
