Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
- 1 (14 ounce) can cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
- Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.
- Arrange the triangles on the prepared baking sheet in a circle, with the wide ends overlapping slightly in the center and the pointed ends facing outwards.
- Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the crescent dough.
- Sprinkle the cubed brie cheese over the cranberry sauce, then sprinkle with nuts, if using.
- Carefully fold the pointed ends of the crescent dough triangles over the filling, tucking them under the overlapping dough in the center to form a wreath shape.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the egg wash over the crescent wreath.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired.
Notes
