It looks wildly impressive while requiring almost zero culinary skill, perfect for when you want people to think you tried harder than you did.
The combination of warm, gooey cheese with the sweet-tart cranberries and buttery pecans creates a flavor explosion that makes people forget whatever else youre serving.

Dont remove the rind before baking, it acts like a container that holds all that molten cheese goodness inside.
Letting the brie sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before baking ensures more even melting throughout.

03 -

Score the top rind of the brie in a crosshatch pattern before adding the topping to allow some of that gooey interior to bubble up through the fruit and nut mixture.
Use a wide, thin spatula slipped underneath the parchment to transfer the hot brie to your serving platter without risking a cheese avalanche.
