Prosciutto-Wrapped Baked Brie with Cranberries
This prosciutto-wrapped baked brie is the kind of appetizer that looks impressive but takes almost no effort. Even better, there’s only three simple ingredients.
Salty prosciutto crisps up in the oven, sealing in a warm, melty wheel of brie, while a spoonful of cranberry adds just enough sweetness to balance everything out. It’s perfect for easy entertaining, whether you’re hosting friends, putting together a snack board, or just want something a little special without a lot of prep.
Serve it straight from the oven with crackers or sliced baguette and let everyone dig in while it’s gooey.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, lay the prosciutto slices in a slightly overlapping circle, large enough to wrap around the brie.
- Place the brie wheel in the center of the prosciutto.
- Spoon the cranberry sauce over the top of the brie.
- Wrap the prosciutto slices up and over the brie, covering it as completely as possible.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until the prosciutto is crisp and the brie is soft.
- Switch the oven to broil and broil for 2–3 minutes, watching closely, until the prosciutto is deeply golden.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
