A warm, gooey baked brie wrapped in flaky puff pastry, topped with a sweet-tart cranberry pecan honey. Perfect for holiday parties or cozy gatherings, this easy appetizer comes together in under 40 minutes and is always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8-ounce) wheel of brie cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup pecan halves or pieces
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Trim the white rind off the top of the brie wheel, leaving sides and bottom intact.
  3. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add dried cranberries, pecans, honey, and cinnamon (if using). Stir for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and nuts are slightly toasted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a 12-inch square. Place brie in the center. Spoon cranberry pecan honey mixture on top of brie, letting some spill over sides.
  5. Fold pastry corners up and over the brie, pinching seams to seal. Flip package over so seams are on bottom. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush entire pastry surface with beaten egg. Press extra pecan pieces on top for decoration if desired.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until pastry is puffed and golden. If top browns too quickly, tent with foil for last 5 minutes.
  8. Let rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving board. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, let brie come to room temperature before starting. If assembling ahead, refrigerate unbaked brie and add 5-10 minutes to baking time. Serve with sturdy crackers or sliced baguette.
