Instructions
Creating your own Baked Brie with Cranberries and Walnuts is easier than you might think! Follow these straightforward steps for delicious success:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Brie: Take the wheel of Brie cheese and, if desired, remove the rind for a softer texture.
3. Mix Toppings: In a bowl, combine the cranberries, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and chopped rosemary (if using). Mix well to combine.
4. Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your thawed puff pastry until it’s large enough to wrap around the Brie.
5. Assemble the Cheese: Place the Brie in the center of the puff pastry. Spoon the cranberry and walnut mixture generously on top of the cheese.
6. Wrap the Brie: Fold the puff pastry over the Brie, pinching the edges to seal it completely. Trim any excess pastry if needed.
7. Brush with Egg Wash: Place the wrapped Brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with the egg wash for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and allow the Baked Brie to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
10. Serve Hot: Once slightly cooled, you’re ready to enjoy warm, gooey Brie with a delightful cranberry and walnut topping.
