Irresistible Baked Brie Recipe

Holiday appetizers are one of the most enjoyable reasons for the season in my book.  From Brie Spinach Dip, Cheesy Artichoke Dip Bites to Cranberry Pistachio Cheese Log to Cherry Cheesecake Dip and now a show stopping addition – Baked Brie in Puff Pastry! I’m so excited to bring you this Baked Brie in Puff Pastry because it is one of my favorite appetizers that just happens to be deceptively easy but looks impressively delicious.  And it is impressively delicious.  So delicious, I devoured almost half of the cheesy pastry just after I finished shooting.  It’s just soooooooo good.  Because really, what could be better than buttery, flaky pastry cocooning oozing, creamy brie bursting with Pepper Jelly Cranberry Sauce, craisins and caramelized pecans?!  AKA the perfect bite of creamy, crunchy,  salty, sweet and tangy. This decadent, savory crowd pleasing Baked Brie comes from our family tradition of a smorgasbord of appetizers on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. One year my mom made a version of Baked Brie in Puff Pastry and it became a must every year after that.  Christmas Eve couldn’t come fast enough – just for the baked brie. There are many variations of Baked Brie –  some call for a smothering of jam and a sprinkling of nuts, others call for maple syrup, dried fruit and herbs while others call for caramelized onions.  And while they are all delicious, because brie all on it’s own is the best melted cheese in. the. world, this STUFFED Baked Brie in Puff Pastry is my favorite version yet.  Let me show you why!
