Description

Creamy Baked Stuffed Brie with Cranberries and Walnuts is a festive holiday appetizer featuring creamy brie stuffed with tart cranberries and toasted walnuts, optionally wrapped in golden puff pastry. This easy, crowd-pleasing dish is perfect for gatherings and delivers a sweet, savory, and gooey bite every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole wheel of brie cheese (8 oz)
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (toasted recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Zest of 1/2 orange (about 1 teaspoon, optional)
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (8 oz), thawed (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
  • Assorted crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)
  • Fresh apple slices or grapes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or pie dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, honey, and orange zest (if using) until evenly coated and sticky.
  3. Using a sharp knife or dental floss, carefully slice the brie wheel in half horizontally to create two rounds. If brie is too soft, freeze for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Place the bottom half of brie, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the cranberry-walnut filling evenly over the surface.
  5. Gently place the top half of brie back on, cut side down, sandwiching the filling inside.
  6. If using puff pastry, lay the thawed sheet flat and place stuffed brie in the center. Fold pastry up and over, trimming excess and sealing edges. Brush with beaten egg.
  7. Bake for 22–25 minutes (with pastry) until pastry is golden and brie feels soft and molten. If not using pastry, bake for 15–18 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let brie rest for 8–10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Transfer to a serving plate, garnish as desired, and serve with crackers, apple slices, or baguette.
