Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Open the can of refrigerated crescent rolls and gently unroll the dough, laying it in a circular shape on the lined baking sheet.
  • Position the small wheel of Brie cheese in the center of your crescent ring.
  • Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the Brie, allowing some to trickle down onto the crescent dough.
  • Sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over the cranberry sauce if using.
  • Fold the triangles of the crescent dough over the filling, tucking the tips underneath the ring.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash and brush it over the top of the dough.
  • Place your prepared ring in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes and garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme if desired.

Notes

For the best results, prepare ingredients ahead and ensure the dough points overlap for an even bake.
