Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) wheel President Brie cheese
- 1/3 cup cranberry sauce
- 1 sprig rosemary
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon honey
Serving Suggestion:
- Crusty bread or crackers
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F (190°C), creating an ideal environment for melting the cheese.
- Carefully remove the top rind from the brie wheel, exposing its creamy interior, and nestle it into a compact baking dish.
- Allow the brie to transform in the heated oven for approximately 7 minutes, watching it soften and become luxuriously molten.
- Extract the brie from the oven and lavishly spread cranberry sauce across its surface, creating a vibrant layer of flavor.
- Optionally drizzle honey over the cranberry layer, gently swirling to create an elegant marbled effect.
- Position a fresh rosemary sprig atop the dip, then return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until the mixture becomes tantalizingly bubbly and releases an aromatic fragrance.
- Present the dip immediately while still warm, accompanied by rustic crusty bread or crisp crackers for an inviting appetizer experience.
Notes
- Choose soft, creamy brie for the best melting texture and richness.
- Use homemade or high-quality store-bought cranberry sauce to elevate the flavor profile.
- Adjust baking time carefully to prevent over-browning or burning the cheese and cranberry mixture.
- Try different herbs like thyme or sage as alternatives to rosemary for varied taste experiences.
