Looking for the perfect appetizer for your holiday entertaining? Look no further. Warm, gooey cheese. A slight tang from cranberries. Soft, flaky crescent roll dough. Cranberry Conserve Brie En Croute. ‘Nuff said.
Full disclosure.
I love cheese.
All kinds.
I don’t think I’ve ever met a cheese I didn’t like. Although some I obviously like more than others.
Cheese is definitely one of my happy places.
And if it’s warm, melty, and gooey? All.the.better.
So when my friends at Pillsbury wanted me to create a recipe with their crescent dough, my mind immediately went to the warm melted brie that is covered with the soft, flaky dough.
But here’s the thing.
That recipe has been around forever and a day.
Although for good reason.
I needed to do something different.
Natch. Because, after all, that’s why they pay me. ;)
I needed to turn it on its ear.
And that I did.
Because I was in “Thanksgiving mode” last week, my mind immediately went to cranberries.
On top of brie.
With a speck of brown sugar.
Wrapped up in flaky crescent dough.
And baked until all warm and melty … until it reaches sinfully good status.
Oh yes. I went there.
And you totally should too.
Because this recipe could make you a rock star as you begin your holiday entertaining.
Not hosting this year?
Don’t let that stop you. I made mine on a ho-hum Wednesday afternoon and foisted it into the hands of some lucky neighbors.
Holiday be darned, this is perfect for anytime you want a little something special.
Even on just an ordinary day.
Tomorrow? A new broccoli recipe that has the kids begging for more.
