Ingredients

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 (8 ounce) wheel of Brie cheese
• ⅓ cup chopped pecans
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ cup dried cranberries
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Soak dried cranberries in a small bowl of water for one minute so that they are not hard.
• Lay thawed puff pastry sheet on a cookie sheet.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in pecans and cinnamon and toast for about 3 minutes.
• Place Brie in the middle of the puff pastry.
• Place pecan mixture on top of Brie.
• Place brown sugar on top of pecan mixture. The heat of the pecan mixture will help melt the brown sugar.
• Drain cranberries. Place them on top of brown sugar.
• Bring the edges of the puff pastry up and press them together making sure to seal the dough. If you have excess dough you can cut a leaf or decoration to add to the top of the Brie.
• Using a pastry brush, brush the entire pastry with the beaten egg.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes in the oven or until the pastry is a golden brown.
• Serve with crackers or just by the slice.
