Considering my self a cheese cynosure and lover, I just had to try this baked brie with cranberry pecan sauce. It is certainly a party pleaser and is a welcomed addition at any social gathering. I love brie with its earthy, fruity, mild, just about mushroom like texture and flavour. Combine this with a sauce make from honey, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the outcome is simply out of this world. Believe me, you family and friends will go crazy for the baked brie wheel. It is a fantastic idea for Thanksgiving and Christmas. As always, give it a try and let us know what you think.

Ingredients
  • 8 ounces brie wheel
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 small sprig of chopped rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 medium French baguette or Italian bread, sliced (You can bake it if you wish.)
  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Instructions

  1. Remove the brie from the wrapper, place on a sheet pan, and bake at 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C for about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove, set aside, and allow it to cool.

  2. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, honey, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, rosemary, and orange zest. Mix well and bring to a light boil over medium heat. Turn down the heat, stir, and simmer. Allow the mixture to bubble until it thickens and begins to caramelize. Add in the pecans and cranberries. Mix until well combined. Pour the mixture over the brie wheel. 

  3. Serve with the bread and enjoy your baked brie with pecan and cranberry sauce.
