Ingredients
- 1 8 oz. Brie cheese round
- 8 oz. fresh cranberries washed
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp water
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Remove the cheese from the packaging and discard any wrappings. Allow cheese to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Rinse cranberries in a colander and pick out any berries that are damaged or bruised.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine the cranberries, honey, vanilla, and water, cook until the berries burst (they will make a popping sound) for about 10- 15 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a bowl.
- Remove the phyllo dough from the package and unroll the sheets. Cover the dough with a damp towel to keep it moist.
- Lay a sheet of phyllo dough horizontally on a dry surface and brush with olive oil. Place another sheet of dough on top. Brush with olive oil, and continue until you have four sheets of dough.
- Layer the remaining sheets vertically, brushing olive oil between each layer.
- Place cheese in the center of the phyllo sheets and top with the chopped nuts. Saving a few to add to the brie after it is baked.
- Fold sheet of phyllo over the cheese. Brush with olive oil and tuck in the sides. Place the brie on the baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
- Bake in a 400 degree preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and spoon the cranberry sauce over the top of the brie adding additional chopped nuts.
- Serve hot with apple slices, crunchy crostini, and crackers. Enjoy!
