While there are plenty of tasty holiday classics, this maple-cranberry baked brie is sure to tickle your tastebuds with its unique flavor. Here is your guide to whipping up this scrumptious Christmas appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup cranberries
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- Salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- Cinnamon
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 brie cheese wheel
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°. Meanwhile, place the cranberries, cornstarch, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and salt into a small pan, heating it over medium-high heat for four to six minutes. Continue to stir the mixture until the cranberries burst and a thick jam forms.
- Allow the filling to cool while you roll your puff pastry into a 10-inch square. Place the brie and the jam filling in the center of the dough before folding the edges of the dough to about 1/2 inch before covering the brie and jam, leaving just small gaps at the edge of the dough.
- Crack the egg and spread it all over the dough before sprinkling the turbinado sugar.
- Place the brie into the oven once preheated to the required temperature. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the pastry is a light golden brown.
- Place your finished brie onto a platter and drizzle with syrup and serve to your guests.
