Baked Brie
Description
Warm, melty brie wrapped in flaky puff pastry with a sweet filling of pecans, brown sugar, and dried cranberries — then baked until golden. This is the appetizer that makes people stop mid-conversation. Elegant enough for a holiday table, easy enough for any gathering. Serve with grapes, sliced apples, figs, or dried fruit.
