Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 (8-ounce) wheel of brie cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/4 cup pomegranate juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Crackers or sliced baguette for serving
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place brie wheel on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.
- In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, pomegranate juice, and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and sauce thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix chopped walnuts and brown sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the brie.
- Bake brie for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is soft and walnuts are lightly toasted.
- Remove from oven, spoon cranberry-pomegranate glaze over the top, and garnish with fresh thyme. Serve immediately with crackers or baguette slices.
