Ingredients

• 1 small (8 oz) wheel of brie cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 cup (chopped) walnuts
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons dried cranberries (optional)
• 1 package or loaf crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking dish or pie plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Place the wheel of brie cheese in the prepared baking dish. Leave the rind intact as it helps the cheese hold its shape while baking.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar and honey, mixing until combined and smooth.

Step 4

Add the chopped walnuts and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir well to coat the walnuts in the glaze evenly. If desired, stir in the dried cranberries for a touch of tartness.

Step 5

Pour the walnut glaze mixture evenly over the top of the brie cheese in the baking dish.

Step 6

Bake the brie in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is softened and slightly melted but not completely oozing out.

Step 7

Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the brie cool for 3-5 minutes to allow the glaze to set slightly.

Step 8

Serve the Walnut Glazed Brie warm with crackers or slices of baguette for dipping. Enjoy this creamy, sweet, and nutty appetizer!
