Equipment

  • 1 small cast iron skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 8-ounce wheel of brie cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup cranberries
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Optional: score the top of the brie in any pattern you wish. This helps the topping flavors infuse into the brie as it bakes in the oven.
  • Place brie in the center of a small cast iron skillet or other small oven safe pan.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cranberries, chopped pecans, and brown sugar.
  • Top the brie with the cranberry mixture.
  • Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes.
  • Drizzle the maple syrup over the top of the brie, and sprinkle the orange zest on top.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Makes approximately 6 appetizer size servings. 
Tip: Do NOT use soft ripened brie. It will melt too quickly in the oven and you'll end up with a melty cheese mix. Use regular brie.
