Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 (8 oz) wheel of brie cheese
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place brie wheel on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.
