Cranberry Baked Brie Recipe
With the busy holiday season approaching, we all need the perfect appetizer to serve. Baked brie always seems to be a hit, is easy to make, and only requires fresh cranberries, an orange, brown sugar, and brie.
The roasted cranberry sauce smothered on top only takes a few minutes to throw together and adds a bright burst of flavor that dried cranberries lack. To make life even easier, make the quick cranberry jam up to a week ahead of time.
When ready to serve, simply place in a baked brie dish, spoon cranberry compote over top, and warm for a few minutes in the oven.
Since this baked brie appetizer does use a sheet of puff pastry to wrap the brie, it is naturally gluten free. It’s equally as delicious as traditional puffed pastry baked brie recipes, but all will be able to enjoy!
If you have extra fresh or frozen cranberries, make sure to whip up a loaf of Cranberry Orange Bread!

How Long Do I Cook It in the Oven?
Watch the brie carefully in the oven because it can go from perfect to melted mess. (Unfortunately been there – multiple times.)
Since this brie recipe doesn’t have a puffed pastry wrapped around it, it cooks in a short period of time. Bake at 350ºF for 7-10 minutes until it starts to ooze and soften, but not completely melt.
If the brie melts from overcooking, all hope is not loss! Simply let the brie cool slightly and scoop cheese back into shape. Spread roasted cranberry sauce over the top, and voila! Disaster averted.
