Ingredients
  

cranberry topping
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tsp orange zest finely grated
brie
  • 1 wheel (8 oz) Brie cheese
serving
  • 1 box (8 oz) crackers

Equipment

  • 1 6-inch ovenproof skillet or baking dish

Method
 

Make the cranberry topping
  1. Combine the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often for 6 to 8 minutes, until the berries burst and the mixture thickens.
  2. Remove the cranberry topping from the heat.
Bake and serve the brie
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Place the Brie in a 6-inch ovenproof skillet or baking dish.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese feels soft when gently pressed in the center.
  4. Spoon the cranberry topping over the Brie.
  5. Serve warm with the crackers.

Notes

For the best texture, serve the Brie warm while the center is soft. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended. Use gluten-free crackers if needed.
