Brie cheese baked in a crisp puff pastry wrap makes a wonderful treat for your holiday party. The cheese wheel is sprinkled with a mixture of pecans, cranberries, cinnamon, and honey, wrapped in store-bought puff pastry, and baked until the puff pastry is golden and crumbly, revealing a velvety, runny cheese perfect for scooping up with crackers and enjoying. Trisha Yearwood decorated her brie with a puff pastry bow as a gift, but you can get creative and create your own decorations using leftover puff pastry.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Place the cheese in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to cool.
- Combine cranberry juice and brown sugar in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and add the cranberries. Turn off the heat and let the cranberries simmer for about 10 minutes. Transfer the berries to a bowl with a slotted spoon, add the pecans, honey, and cinnamon, and stir to combine.
- Preheat oven to 175°C.
- Roll out one sheet of puff pastry with a rolling pin until it's thin. Place the cheese in the center of the pastry. Spread the cranberry-nut mixture over the cheese. Bring the edges of the pastry toward the center and press them together; brush the edges with beaten egg to ensure they stick together.
- From the remaining sheet of puff pastry, cut three 2.5 cm thick strips. Cross the first two strips over the cheese so they intersect in the center, like a ribbon wrapping a present. Seal the edges with beaten egg. Make a bow with the remaining strip of pastry, place it in the center of the cheese, and secure with beaten egg. Brush the entire pastry with beaten egg.
- Bake until golden brown (if the crust is darkening too quickly, cover loosely with foil), about 40 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve with crackers.
