Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
- 1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish (optional)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll both packages of crescent roll dough. Separate each package into 8 triangles.
- Arrange the triangles in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, with the wide ends overlapping slightly in the center and the pointed ends facing outward.
- In a bowl, combine the cubed brie and cranberry sauce. If desired, add chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Spoon the brie and cranberry mixture evenly over the wide ends of the crescent dough triangles.
- Bring the pointed ends of the triangles up and over the filling, tucking them under the center ring of dough to form a wreath shape.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk (or water). Brush the egg wash over the entire wreath.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the wreath is golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a high-quality brie cheese. You can also add a drizzle of honey after baking for extra sweetness.
