Ingredients
  

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

Equipment

  • 1 6-inch oven-safe dish

Method
 

Make the cranberry topping
  1. Combine the cranberries, sugar, water, and orange zest in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries burst and the topping thickens.
Bake and serve the brie
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Place the Brie in a 6-inch oven-safe dish.
  3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the center feels soft when gently pressed.
  4. Spoon the warm cranberry topping over the Brie and serve in the dish with the crackers.

Notes

For the best texture, serve the Brie while it is warm and soft. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended. For a gluten-free option, serve with gluten-free crackers.
