Ingredients

Brie cheese wheel 8-ounce
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons water
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
½ tablespoon orange zest
½ teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add the water, cranberries, and brown sugar to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer for 7-8 minutes or until the cranberries start to pop. Remove from the heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the honey.
While the cranberries are cooking, place the brie on a parchment-covered baking sheet or in a mini iron skillet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is soft to the touch. Remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes.
Use the parchment paper to move the brie to a serving platter and gently spoon on the cranberry mixture, walnuts, orange zest, and rosemary. For best results, serve promptly.

Notes

Brie is a soft French cheese that comes in a rind. The rind is edible and becomes more subtle when baked. I do not trim the rind, as it holds the melted cheese in place while it bakes.
When baked long enough, the cheese will become soft in the middle. Gently and carefully touch the center to see if it is slightly soft, like jello. Don't press hard; you don't want hot cheese squirting out.
Let the cheese rest for 5 minutes before piling on the goodies, as it can also bust open as soon as it comes out of the oven from the weight of the toppings.
