Ingredients
- 1 round or wedge (8 ounces) Brie cheese (with herbs or plain)
- 1/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped pistachio nuts
- Sliced baguette loaf or water crackers, if desired
Steps
- Heat oven to 350°. Lightly brush round pan, 8×1 1/2 inches, or ovenproof plate with vegetable oil.

- Top cheese with cranberry sauce and nuts. Serve immediately with bread.
Tips
Tip 1: Not a cranberry fan but want that holiday pop of color? Swap pomegranate arils for cranberries and top with the roasted, lightly salted pistachios and a glaze of honey.
Tip 2: To keep carb count in check, consider a nut-based or seed-based cracker instead of the baguette to serve alongside the brie.
