Christmas is only a week away and I have to admit, I’m a little sad about the lack of snow we’ve got. I’ve never been one to complain about warm weather (it was 14 degrees Celsius today!), but it’s hard to get my head in the Christmas game when it feels like September outside! Thankfully I have all kinds of festive recipes on the go, like this Cranberry Pomegranate Baked Brie Appetizer, that give me all the holiday inspiration despite the fact that I can still see green grass out my window!!

Growing up on the Canadian prairies meant a white Christmas every single year without exception. Aside from the snow outside, we could also depend on a delicious Christmas Eve appetizer buffet at our family’s Christmas Eve gathering every year and there’d always be brie on the table!

Ingredients

• 250 gram Brie cheese
• 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries halved
• 1/2 pomegranate seeded
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• zest and juice of one orange
• 1/4 cup pecans chopped
• fresh rosemary for garnish optional
• your favourite crackers or baguette slices for serving, or veggies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a small baking dish with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.

2. Place the brie cheese into the baking dish, in the middle.

3. In a small bowl, combine the sliced cranberries, pomegranate seeds, maple syrup, orange juice and zest, and the chopped pecans.

4. Toss everything together in the bowl and spoon it on top of the brie. It's ok if some of it falls off the top.

5. Bake at 300 degrees for about 15-17 minutes, or until the brie is very soft but still intact. Check it after 10 minutes to be sure you don't over-bake it.

Recipe Notes

It's possible to make this Brie ahead of time. Simply prepare the pan, the cheese and the topping, assemble and store covered in the refrigerator. Bake just before serving.
