My version of a holiday baked brie with a kick! Chipotle Cranberry Baked Brie
Okay obviously I’m not recreating the cheese wheel with this Chipotle Cranberry Baked Brie. Yes, I did just do that, I’m cheesy. Oh gosh, I need to stop. Someone stop me. But, what I will say is- this recipe is a holiday classic mixed with a southwestern kick. Which just might be my favorite type of recipe, for me it screams nostalgia.
Baked Brie vs Pastry Baked Brie
Now I’m not going to turn my nose up on any type of warm gooey cheese. And yes, I have made a baked brie by just simply slapping a brie wheel in the oven and it’s great. But what makes this Chipotle Cranberry Brie extra special is, it is wrapped in puff pastry, painted with egg wash, and baked. I mean really, you could eat it as is. The golden buttery puff pastry is the perfect carb to be paired with the creamy brie and tart cranberry. I went ahead and served with crackers, just because a girl loves some texture.
Now you’ll notice I served this recipe straight in my cast iron. Guys, it’s genius. You bake it in the cast iron and load it up with your favorite pairings, and serve it straight from your cast iron. It looks gorgeous and tastes even more gorgeous. You can buy my cast iron skillet by clicking the photo below from Amazon.
