Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium Brie cheese round (5 to 6 inches)
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup whole dried cranberries
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
One 17-ounce box frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the cheese in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to chill.
  • Bring the cranberry juice and brown sugar to a boil in a small saucepan and add the cranberries. Turn off the heat and let the cranberries plump for about 10 minutes. Transfer them with a slotted spoon to a bowl, add the pecans, honey and cinnamon and mix together.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Roll one of the sheets of puff pastry thinner with a rolling pin. Place the cheese on the center of the pastry. Top the cheese with the cranberry-nut mixture. Bring the edges of the pastry to the center and press together; brush the edges with the egg wash so they adhere.
  • Cut three 1-inch-thick strips from the remaining puff pastry sheet. Cross the first 2 strips on top on the cheese so they intersect in the center like a ribbon wrapping a present. Seal the edges with egg wash. Bring the ends of the third strip of puff pastry up and over to create a bow shape, with the ends hanging down. Place in the center of the cheese and secure with egg wash. Brush the remaining pastry with egg wash.
  • Bake until the pastry is light golden brown, tenting it if it begins to brown too much, about 40 minutes. Let rest briefly. Serve with crackers.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter filling, use a sweeter variety of cranberry sauce, such as whole berry or jellied. For a tarter filling, use a tart variety, such as cranberry-apple or cranberry-orange.
  • If you don't have puff pastry, you can use crescent roll dough instead. Just be sure to thaw the dough before using.
  • If you don't have ramekins, you can use small muffin cups instead. Just be sure to spray the cups with cooking spray before adding the dough.
  • You can garnish the cups with fresh cranberries, chopped pecans, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.
  • These cups can be served warm or cold. If you're serving them warm, be sure to let them cool slightly before eating so that the filling doesn't burn your mouth.

Conclusion:

Cranberry pecan brie cups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover cranberry sauce. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and impressive snack that your guests will love.
