Cranberry baked brie cheese is a delicious baked cheese appetizer perfect for holiday parties. Baked brie cheese is really easy to make. For this festive dish, you top a round of brie with cranberry sauce and then add a flaky crust with some Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. The crust and seasonal fruit add a touch of elegance and holiday flavor to this warm, cheesy dish. It is also a great way to use up cranberry sauce.

November is the season for cranberry recipes. It all starts with a homemade cranberry sauce. Then you can use that sauce as a side dish or to make this delish appetizer. You can also make smaller more portable appetizers like Cranberry Brie Bites. Or if you prefer something nuttier, check out Maple Pecan Baked Brie. It would pair well on a cheese platter with this one, too.

Cranberry Baked Brie Ingredients

Cranberry Brie

To make the cranberry baked brie you will need:

  • Brie Round
  • Cranberry sauce – homemade or canned
  • Canned crescent rolls or sheets

Cranberry Baked Bried Instructions

Cranberry covered Brie

Start by carefully tearing apart a square of four crescent rolls.  Just unroll the dough, and you should see where the square is at. Gently press on the perforations to seal them up.

Crescent Wrapped Brie

Next, add a spoonful of cranberry sauce in the center of the rolls. Gently place the brie on top of the cranberry sauce. Top the brie with another spoon full or so of cranberries.

The next step is to cover the cranberries and brie with the crescent roll dough. Lay a rectangle of two more crescent rolls on top of the brie. Carefully pull the corners of the crescent square up and over the brie to cover it completely. It’s a little bit like wrapping a present.  Watch the bottom of the dough as it may tear.

Brie Cheese Crescents

Brush the top and sides of the dough with a simple egg wash to help it brown when baking.  The egg wash is not necessary, but it makes the dough brown and shiny.

Crescent Wrapped Brie Cheese

Bake the brie on a parchment-lined cookie sheet at 375 degrees for about 25-40 minutes. Mine was underbaked at 30 minutes, but it was getting brown on the outside, so I took it out. I should have left it in another 5-10 minutes to let the cheese melt more.  Just watch it closely and let it get brown without burning.

Remove the brie from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. You can serve it with crackers or let people pull off the crescent dough and spread the brie right on it.

Cranberry and Brie Baked Cheese Appetizer Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
  • About a 1/4 cup of cranberry sauce
  • 1 round Brie cheese
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk egg in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Gently tear apart the crescent dough so that 4 crescent rolls form a square. Press the perforations together so they don't tear apart and form one square of dough.
  3. Lay the dough out on a sheet of parchment paper. Put about 1/4 cup of cranberry sauce in the middle of the dough. Place the brie round on top of the cranberry sauce. Top the brie with more cranberries.
  4. Tear apart a rectangle of 2 crescent rolls and lay them over on top of the cranberries on top of the brie. Fold the rest of the dough up and around the brie so it is encased in the dough.
  5. Brush the tops and sides of the dough with the egg.
  6. Place the parchment paper and brie on a baking sheet. Bake for at least 30 minutes, watching closely to make sure that the dough cooks through but doesn't burn. It should be a nice dark brown once done.
  7. Allow the brie to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
