    Why You Will Love This Baked Brie With Cranberries Recipes

    This cranberry-baked brie recipe is made with a wheel of brie and topped with my homemade red wine cranberry sauce. The flavors in this cranberry sauce are out of this world! A combination of red wine, fresh cranberries, orange juice, and maple syrup, that's it! We love serving this appetizer alongside goat cheese bacon-wrapped dates, gluten-free blackberry brie tartlets, and caviar and creme fraiche potato chips. Here are some more reasons why you will love cranberry baked brie:

    • Such an easy appetizer! Warm-baked brie is one of the easiest appetizers to make and serve during the holiday season. 
    • Elegant for holiday parties with simple ingredients. Baked brie is an elegant appetizer without all the fuss. You can serve this recipe at a holiday party, or for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's Eve. 
    • This brie appetizer is a great way to use leftover cranberry sauce. Homemade cranberry sauce can be made several weeks in advance, and any leftovers can be used for this recipe.

    Baked Brie With Cranberries Ingredients

    • Brie: Grab an 8-ounce wheel of creamy brie cheese.
    • Cranberry Sauce: Leftover homemade cranberry sauce is the perfect addition to this recipe. I highly recommend my homemade red wine cranberry sauce, but you can also use store-bought cranberry sauce.
    • Fresh Herbs: Garnish with fresh rosemary or fresh thyme for an ultra-festive look.

    How To Make Baked Brie With Cranberry Sauce

    Baked brie with cranberries in the oven and then topped with cranberries sauce.
    • Step 1: Bake the brie. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the brie in a small cast iron skillet or on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until soft.
    • Step 2: Add cranberries. Remove the brie from the oven and allow it to rest on the baking tray for 2 minutes. Carefully transfer the melted brie to a desired serving platter or cheese board. Spoon the sweet cranberry sauce on top of the brie. With a sharp knife, cut into the brie and serve with your favorite crackers or baguettes.

    Pairings & Toppings

    • Orange Zest - A hint of orange zest on top of the cranberry mixture gives a festive vibrant look.
    • Fresh Herbs - Use fresh herbs such as fresh rosemary or fresh thyme to sprinkle on top or add as a garnish.
    • Nuts - Toasted pecans, walnuts, or pistachios give a great texture to this recipe.
    • Fruit - Fresh fruit such as apple slices pair well with cranberry.
    • Crackers & Baguettes- I love serving baked brie with rosemary crackers, baguette slices, or any crusty bread.
    • Wine - Brie is best served with champagne, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, or pinot noir.

    Storage

    • To store: This recipe is best served the same day it is made. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 2 days. The brie will only stay melty for 10-15 minutes and can be reheated one time.
    • To reheat: Add the leftover brie to a small bowl and microwave until softened. 

    FAQ

    Do you take the rind off the brie before baking?

    No, the edible white rind keeps the warm cheese intact and does not need to be removed. If you remove the top of the rind, this will create a gooey brie similar to cheese fondue.

    How long will baked brie stay melted?

    Baked brie will only stay melted for about 15 minutes. You can reheat the brie one time in the oven or the microwave.

    How to reheat baked brie?

    You can only reheat brie one time. In a preheated oven of 300°F, warm the brie for 10-15 minutes until melty. You can also reheat it in the microwave in 10-20 second increments until warm and gooey.
