Step-by-Step Instructions for Cranberry Brie Crescent Ring

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Open the can of refrigerated crescent rolls and gently unroll the dough without separating the triangles. Arrange the dough in a circular shape on the lined baking sheet.
  • Place the small wheel of Brie cheese in the center of your crescent ring.
  • Generously spread the cranberry sauce over the top of the Brie cheese.
  • If opting for added texture, sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over the cranberry sauce.
  • Carefully fold each triangle of the crescent dough over the cheesy filling, tucking the tips underneath the ring.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create a glossy egg wash. Apply this mixture over the top of the crescent dough.
  • Place the filled and brushed Cranberry Brie Crescent Ring into the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes.
  • Once baked, allow the ring to cool for a few minutes and garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme.

Notes

Ensure dough overlaps correctly to form a stable ring; slice Brie for an even melt; be generous with cranberry sauce but avoid overfilling; apply egg wash evenly for a golden finish; monitor baking time closely.
