A delightful dish combining creamy Brie, tangy cranberry sauce, and crunchy pistachios, perfect for gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 round of soft Brie cheese
  • 4 oz of cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup of fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup of sugar (or honey for a twist)
  • ¾ cup of pistachios (shelled)
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

  3. If using herbs, fold them into the whipped cheese mixture and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the whipped Brie mixture onto a serving plate. Top with cooled cranberry sauce and sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.
  5. Serve with assorted crackers, toasted bread, or sliced apples.
