Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries Use fresh cranberries for best flavor.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries and sugar. Cook until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens.

  4. Cut the Brie into small pieces and insert them into the cuts of the loaf.
  5. Spoon the cranberry mixture into the cuts over the Brie. Sprinkle with walnuts or pecans if using.
  6. Melt butter and brush it over the top of the bread.
  7. Wrap the bread in aluminum foil and place it in the oven for about 20 minutes.
  8. Unwrap and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh thyme if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
