How to Make Cranberry Baked Brie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean work surface. Separate the dough into 4 rectangles.
  3. Press 2 rectangles together to form a square. Repeat with the remaining 2 rectangles to create 2 squares.
  4. Trim the corners off both squares to create 2 rounds. Reserve the trimmed dough scraps.
  5. Place one dough round on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Slice the brie cheese horizontally into two even layers.
  7. Place the bottom half of the brie onto the dough round.
  8. Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the bottom layer of brie.
  9. Top with the second layer of brie.
  10. Cover the brie with the second dough round, pressing the edges to seal completely.
  11. Using a medium or small cookie cutter, cut shapes from the reserved dough scraps.
  12. Arrange the dough cutouts on top of the brie.
  13. Brush the entire baked brie with the beaten egg.
  14. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the brie is melted and bubbly.
  15. Let cool slightly before serving.
  16. Serve warm, garnished with fresh berries and/or sliced fruit, if desired.
