Cranberry and Pecan Brie en Croute

I’ve been making this Cranberry and Pecan Brie en Croute for quite a few years. It is especially fun to make for Thanksgiving or Christmas as it looks fancy though it is actually a cinch to make. The warm, rich flavors fit so well with fall and winter. It really is a delicious appetizer that is sure to impress.

 8 oz wheel of Brie cheese
 ⅓ cup chopped pecans

3

Arrange thawed puff pastry flat on a cookie sheet. Roll out the pastry a few times in each in direction to make the pastry slightly larger.

4

In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add in pecans and cinnamon and stir occasionally for 3 minutes.

5

Place Brie in the center of the puff pastry. (Some people have asked if you can cut the edible rind off. You can, but if you do, the cheese is more likely to ooze out while baking.)

6

Put pecan mixture on top of Brie.

8

Drain cranberries and put on top of brown sugar.

Bring the edges of the puff pastry up and seal it to wrap the center contents.

10

Cut off excess dough and use a cookie cutter to create a shape to be placed on top. (A turkey or leaf would be adorable for Thanksgiving. I like to use a fox cookie cutter as that is our last name. A tree or jingle bell shape would be cute at Christmas.)
