We have 13 days until Thanksgiving, so there’s not much time left to get our recipes for the big day in order.
Yesterday, we talked about how to make French onion dip cups, and today, we’re sticking with the appetizer theme!
Sarah Reed, who goes by @sarahtreed on TikTok, has a festive and delicious recipe for a brie, cranberry, and hazelnut wreath that might just earn a place on your Thanksgiving table this year.
She actually was inspired by Ree Drumond, who you might know from her blog or her show on The Food Network, The Pioneer Woman, to make this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 eight-ounce wheel of Brie cheese (peel off the rind, then slice into pieces)
- 2 packages of crescent roll dough
- 1 egg, beaten, to make a wash if you want
- honey
- 1 cup cranberry sauce (you can get fancy and make your own, or buy it from the store to save time)
- several pinches of chopped, fresh rosemary
- 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts
- one pinch of pink Himalayan salt
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
Instructions:
Grab a baking sheet and put a piece of parchment paper on top while you preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Take your two packages of crescent roll dough, roll them out, and cut out or tear the triangle shapes already stamped into it.
Pick up a little bowl and put that in the middle of your baking sheet, as this will serve as your template for the wreath.
Place the triangular crescent roll dough pieces around the bowl with the narrow side pointing away from the bowl.
Keep going, and they will kind of resemble a sun when you’re finished. Now, spoon the cranberry sauce into the middle and put the slices of Brie over top of that.
Sprinkle your dried cranberries, toasted hazelnuts, and chopped rosemary on the top, and take the bowl out of the middle.
Be careful when you do this so you don’t ruin your hard work!
Going triangle by triangle, pull the pointy end of your dough slices around the filling and tuck that piece underneath the dough on the bottom. You’re doing this to seal everything inside.
“Once you’re happy with the wreath shape, brush it with egg wash and sprinkle on the chopped fresh rosemary and pink salt,” Sarah says.
Bake your wreath until it’s golden and brown, which should take you approximately 20 minutes. After it’s done in the oven, take it out and let it cool down to a temperature that’s comfortable to handle.
Place your wreath on a serving tray or charcuterie board so you can enjoy it. Drizzle some honey on the top, and add more dried cranberries, hazelnuts, and fresh rosemary on top as a garnish.
Make sure you still serve your wreath when it’s nice and warm. Oh, and to prevent the cheese from leaking out in the oven, Sarah explains that she freezes the brie for 10 or 15 minutes prior to slicing it up.
