Ingredients
  

For the Wreath
  • 2 tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, room temperature Ensure it's not too warm before baking.
  • 1 cup cranberry sauce Store-bought or homemade.
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • to taste Fresh rosemary sprigs or parsley for garnish Optional
For Variations
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts Adds a delightful crunch.
  • 2 sliced apples or pears For a different flavor profile.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg Enhances warmth during the holidays.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Open both tubes of crescent roll dough and unroll them. Join the triangles together to form a rectangular shape on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Place the brie cheese round in the center of the rectangle. Spread the cranberry sauce generously over the cheese, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Starting from the outer edge, fold the triangles of dough over the cheese and cranberry, overlapping slightly. Continue until the wreath is formed, pressing the edges to seal them well.
  5. Brush the entire wreath with the beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Place the wreath in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
  1. Once baked, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with rosemary sprigs or parsley for a festive touch.
  2. Serve warm.

Notes

Use cold ingredients for best results. If using homemade cranberry sauce, make sure to let it cool completely to avoid sogginess. You can freeze the assembled wreath before baking; bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes. For egg wash variation, consider adding garlic powder or herbs.
