• 1 wheel of brie cheese (about 8 oz.): The star of the show! Brie is soft and creamy, and when baked, it becomes perfectly gooey. You can use a double or triple cream brie for an even richer flavor.
• 1 cup fresh cranberries: These add a pop of tartness that balances out the sweetness of the maple syrup and brie.
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup: The syrup’s natural sweetness is the perfect complement to the cranberries and enhances the flavor of the brie. Make sure you use real maple syrup for the best flavor!
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar: This gives the cranberries a little extra sweetness and helps them break down into a delicious sauce as they cook.
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice: This helps balance out the sweetness with a little bit of acidity. It brightens up the flavors and adds freshness.
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary: Adds an aromatic, earthy flavor that pairs wonderfully with the sweet and tart elements.
• 1 tablespoon olive oil: For drizzling over the brie before baking, helping to create a beautifully golden crust.
• Crackers or sliced baguette (for serving): To serve alongside the brie, you’ll need something to dip and scoop. I love a crispy, buttery cracker or a sliced, toasted baguette.
