Ingredients

Scale

Dough & Cheese

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 oz Brie cheese, sliced into small wedges

Fruit & Nuts

  • 1 cup whole cranberries (fresh or thawed)
  • 1/3 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted

Sweeteners & Extras

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp orange zest (optional but recommended)

For Egg Wash

  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Arrange Crescent Dough: Separate the crescent roll triangles and arrange them in a circular wreath shape on the prepared baking sheet, placing the points pointing outward and overlapping the bases slightly to form the ring.
  3. Add Cranberry Sauce: Spread a small spoonful of cranberry sauce on the base of each crescent triangle to layer in sweet and tart flavor.
  4. Layer Brie and Cranberries: Place a wedge of Brie cheese onto each crescent base, then top with a few whole cranberries for freshness and texture.
  5. Sprinkle Walnuts: Scatter lightly toasted chopped walnuts over the Brie and cranberries to add a satisfying crunch.
  6. Fold and Form Wreath: Fold the points of each crescent triangle over the filling and tuck them tightly under the inner ring to secure the wreath shape.
  7. Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it gently over the surface of the crescent dough to create a glossy, golden finish when baked.
  8. Bake: Bake the wreath for 18 to 22 minutes until the dough is beautifully golden and the Brie cheese inside is melted and gooey.
  9. Drizzle with Syrup: While the wreath is still warm, drizzle the top with maple syrup and honey for added sweetness and shine.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the optional orange zest over the wreath for a fragrant and citrusy holiday touch, allow it to cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm as a festive appetizer.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed cranberries for best texture.
  • Lightly toasting walnuts enhances their flavor and crunch.
  • The orange zest is optional but highly recommended for a bright aroma.
  • Serve warm to enjoy the gooey melted Brie.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
