Ingredients
  

For the brie
  • 1 wheel (8 oz) Brie
For the topping
  • 0.33 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 0.25 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 tbsp honey
For serving
  • 1 box (8 oz) crackers

Equipment

  • 1 6-inch ovenproof dish

Method
 

Prepare the oven and brie
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Remove all wrapping from the Brie, leave the rind intact, and place it in a 6-inch ovenproof dish.
Top and bake
  1. Spoon the cranberry sauce over the Brie, scatter the pecans on top, and drizzle with honey.
  2. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the center feels soft and yielding when lightly pressed.
Rest and serve
  1. Let the Brie rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Serve warm with crackers.

Notes

For the softest center, serve shortly after the 5-minute rest. Refrigerate leftovers covered for up to 3 days; do not freeze. For a gluten-free option, serve with gluten-free crackers.
