# Ingredient list:
→ Dairy
01 - 1 whole wheel brie cheese (approximately 8 oz)
→ Pastry
02 - 1 sheet thawed puff pastry
→ Filling
03 - 3 tablespoons cranberry sauce (whole berry or jam)
04 - 2 tablespoons toasted pecans, roughly chopped
→ Topping
05 - 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
06 - 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
07 - 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut out a large triangle resembling a pine tree, sized to fully enclose the brie wheel. Reserve scraps for decoration.
03 - Position the brie in the center of the pastry. Spread cranberry sauce over the brie and scatter toasted pecans on top.
04 - Fold the pastry over the brie to form a pine tree shape. Use scrap pastry pieces to craft branches and decorative elements.
05 - Transfer the wrapped brie to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the pastry thoroughly with beaten egg and sprinkle chopped rosemary if desired.
06 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
07 - Let cool for 10 minutes. Optionally, drizzle with honey before serving.
08 - Serve warm accompanied by crackers, apple slices, or fresh bread.
