Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
- 1 (14 ounce) can cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough. Separate each into 8 triangles.
- Arrange the triangles in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping the wide ends in the center and pointing the tips outward. The tips should create a starburst shape.
- Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the wide part of the dough near the center of the circle.
- Sprinkle the cubed brie cheese over the cranberry sauce. Add pecans, if using.
- Fold the tips of the triangles over the filling, tucking them under the center to form a wreath shape.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the mixture over the top of the wreath.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired.
Notes
Serve warm for the best melted brie experience. For a sweeter wreath, add a drizzle of honey before baking.
