Baked Brie with Blueberries and Pecans

Today I'm sharing a very easy and delicious appetizer, perfect for your Christmas celebrations. You can add toast and different types of bread to accompany your appetizer platter.

Ingredients:

• 1 round Brie cheese (about 200g)

• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter (30 g)

• ¼ cup chopped pecans (25 g)

• ¼ cup dried cranberries (30 g)

• 1 tablespoon of honey (15 ml)

• 1 sheet of puff pastry dough (optional, about 250g)

• Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish

• Toast, crackers or sliced ​​baguette-type bread to accompany

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.

2. If you're using puff pastry, roll it out and wrap the Brie cheese, sealing the edges well. Place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. If you're not using puff pastry, simply place the cheese directly on the tray.

3. In a small skillet, melt the butter and add the pecans. Toast them over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Add the cranberries and honey, and mix well.

4. Pour this mixture over the Brie (whether wrapped in puff pastry or not).

5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is soft and begins to melt slightly.

6. Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary and serve immediately with bread rolls or toast.
