Follow these clear steps to create your Easy Cranberry Pecan Baked Brie perfectly:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry into a square, about 1/8 inch thick.
3. Add the Brie: Place the brie in the center of the puff pastry.
4. Mix Toppings: In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, chopped pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
5. Top the Brie: Spoon the cranberry mixture on top of the brie, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
6. Wrap the Brie: Fold the puff pastry over the brie and toppings, sealing the edges. You can 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 puff pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
9. Let it Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. This is essential for the cheese to set slightly.
10. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh rosemary or thyme leaves on top for a fresh contrast.
