Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed, cut into cubes
- 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate into triangles.
- Arrange the triangles in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the pointed ends facing outwards.
- In a bowl, combine the brie cubes and cranberry sauce. If using, stir in the chopped nuts.
- Spoon the brie and cranberry mixture evenly over the wide ends of the crescent triangles, near the center of the circle.
- Fold the pointed ends of the triangles over the filling, tucking them under the center circle to form a wreath shape.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk/water. Brush the egg wash over the entire wreath.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
