Baked Brie with Cranberries

A perfect appetizer for the holiday season made with brie, cranberry sauce and puffed pastry.

The time between Thanksgiving and New Years is party season.  There are so many celebrations and get-togethers.  This baked brie with cranberries is perfect for a casual get-together or something a bit fancier.

The best part about this baked brie….besides tasting fabulous…. it looks amazing!  Your guests will be so impressed with the beauty, the taste, and your culinary skills!

Keep it a secret that it was easy to create!  There’s no reason to tell anyone!  They will just think you are a true genius in the kitchen….and you are!

I used frozen puff pastry for this appetizer, but you could also use my homemade easy puff pastry dough.  You can find puff pastry in the freezer section of most grocery stores.

Pull out one sleeve and let sit for 15-20 minutes until thawed but still cold.  Unfold and  roll pastry, smoothing out creases just a bit thinner.

Trim corners off pastry and put brie right in the center.

Add cranberry sauce.  I used my homemade cranberry sauce, but any type will do.  Drain any excess liquid from sauce. Wrap up like a pretty little package.

Use egg wash to brush pastry.  Get into seams to help keep pastry together.

With the scraps, I used a small leaf cookie cutter and cut our several leaves.  Brush the bottom of leaves to stick to pastry.  Brush the tops once secured.  Bake until golden brown.  The baked brie is best served warm.
