Baked Brie en Croute (with Honey, Candied Pecans and Cranberries)

I wanted to try this baked brie en croute (with honey, candied pecans, and cranberries) when I saw the recipe on Olivia’s Cuisine. The recipe was fun and easy to make, and tasted fantastic! The baked brie en croute paired nicely with two different types of crackers and green apple slices. I served this delicious baked brie recipe for a family dinner, and it paired well with a roasted chicken, Duchess potatoes, autumn salad, and dinner rolls.

Baked Brie en Croute (with Honey, Candied Pecans and Cranberries)

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed but still VERY COLD
• 1 wheel of brie
• ⅓ cup honey
• ¼ cup dried cranberries
• ¼ cup candied pecans, roughly chopped
• 1 egg, whisked very well

How to Make Baked Brie en Croute (with Honey, Candied Pecans and Cranberries)

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lay the thawed (but very cold) puff pastry on the parchment paper, then place the brie wheel in the center and measure.

Remove the brie; set aside.

Drizzle the honey in the center of the puff pastry (where the brie will go).

Sprinkle the honey with the dried cranberries and candied pecans.

Place the brie wheel directly on top of the honey, cranberries, and pecans.

Gather the puff pastry dough edges and wrap the brie wheel, gathering at the top, and pressing it shut with your fingers.

Flip the brie over and place it honey, cranberry, and pecan side up.

Brush the entire pastry with the whisked egg.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.

Serve with crackers and apple slices. Enjoy!
