Baked Brie

Sally Uhlmann

Such a beautiful and indulgent dish that showcases creamy brie cheese, baked until it becomes bubbly and oozy. The rich, velvety texture of the cheese is perfectly complemented by a sweet, tangy layer of orange marmalade. Dried cranberries provide a chewy contrast, and toasted nuts introduce a satisfying crunch and earthy flavor. Fresh rosemary sprigs infuse the dish with an aromatic essence.
