In the past, I’d always order baked brie at the restaurants, but now that I know how easy and effortless it is to whip it up, I’m all about making this appetizer at home. This way, I can pair it with wines we enjoy.
This holiday-inspired baked brie pairs perfectly with a glass of prosecco and totally deserves bragging rights. You’ll see why once you have a taste.
This Cranberry Pecan Baked Brie will be on my Christmas and New Years menu. It is so good that you’ll want to share with everyone on different occasions all year long just so they can taste what the fuss is all about. Plus this only takes five minutes of prep work, so I hope it makes it to your holiday table this year!
