Dried Cherries, Pecans and Rosemary Brie en Croute

I just made this to on a trial run basis to see if it was good enough for thanksgiving. It was! I got dried berried instead of cherries and they worked well!! I did cut mine too early, and would recommend to wait a while before cutting. Despite that, it was amazing!

Made this today for a Christmas gathering among friends. I substituted Craisins for the cherries and Walnuts for the pecans but otherwise followed the directions as listed. It was a huge hit! I will without a doubt make it again and am certain it will become a holiday tradition.

Wow, this was a hit!! I soaked dried cranberries in "Grand Marnier" instead of water and added that to the recipe! So good!

I thought this was wonderful. The video was terrific in walking me through the recipe, and gave helpful hints. I used a holly shaped cookie cutter to make a pretty festive look out of the leftover pastry for the top of the brie.

This was ok. I think I would make it again but cut back on the rosemary. It was a little too strong

I brought this to a Christmas party, it was gone in minutes. The only trouble I had was finding a brie the size it called for. With all the guest at the party it would have been better to have the larger brie.

Fantastic! I would make this again anytime!

This is a total party hit. Family and friends all love it! :)

We made this for Thanksgiving, because it looked so pretty. Out of 12 people, one loved it and the rest of us did not like it. I've had a "sweet" baked brie before that I loved, so I'll keep looking for another recipe.

Followed directions and came out PERFECT! Delicious recipe.

Made this for a party - used the smaller round of brie. The taste was amazing, the presentation, not so much. Mine looked messy - my fault completely - but I will definitely make it again and be more careful with the pastry dough so it will look as good as it tastes.

One of the best Brie's I have made yet. I used cranberries though as the dried cherries are out of season right now.

This is such a delicious and beautiful appitizer that was very easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly, but used a 1/2 package of Dufour brand puff pastry instead. I also used a bigger wheel a brie (about a 19 oz. wheel) and it turned out just great. I didn't have any fresh rosemary so I used a 1/4 teaspoon of crumbled dried rosemary instead. I loved how fancy this looked and how tasty all of the flavors were together. Thanks for the great recipe, even though I didn't use your puff pastry!

I soaked the cherries in Grand Marnier to soften instead of water - a nice little extra kick to the recipe.

Excellent recipe! I made mine with dried cranberries (softened) and left out the rosemary as I had none on hand. It was a big hit at the holiday potluck and was gone in no time. I will make this again and again -- thanks for sharing :)

Everybody gobbled this up the two times I made this in the past week!

I'm just starting out in the world of cooking and this was a great and super easy appy to make and looks much more difficult (read: impressive) than it actually is. Only modification was using Craisins and next time I might use more honey and rosemary.

I made this for thanksgiving and it was a big hit. The only issue was I only had an 8oz brie and followed the same recipe with a smaller brie - it was great!

I LOVED this; however, everyone else seemed to only like (not love) it. I would make again and might just eat this all myself.

I've made this a number of times and I've never had left overs. The recipe also works well with dried cranberries. Just limit the amount of fresh rosemary to what the recipe calls for or it will be overpowering.

This was great. I didn't have dried cherries and was making this for Thanksgiving, so I spread some cranberry sauce over the Brie, it was very nice.

made it yesterday for my make-up thanksgiving day..YUM.....i did cut it too early...so it was a bit runny...so when you are making yours, please remember, it is so good that it is worth the wait!!!!! i had picky eaters at the party, so i skipped the rosemary...

Love this recipe. I used flavored craisins instead of the dried cherries, but it was delicious both the first time and the second. Definitely the hit of any party!

Recipe is great. I find if you put it all together and pop it into the freezer before baking it. The cheese won't melt and the pastry will brown. No more weeping of cheese on the cookie sheet.

I made this for a New Years Eve party and it was fantastic. Will make again.

Delicous and easy! I subst. craisins and pecans instead. I took this to a Christmas party and if three others had not also brought a baked brie, I think it would have been gone.

I excluded the nuts and used Pilllsbury Crescent rolls, but this recipe is fantastic!

Excelent and super easy!

I served this last year and just came back to find the recipe for a boat picnic. This is wonderful! I substituted Cranraisins since I couldn't find dried cherries and it was perfect. Rave reviews!

added maple syrup about 1/2 cup, would adjust that amount to 1/3. This recipe is perfect for an appetizer that looks complicated but it's not.

Really good. Next time I think I will try to mold the puff pastry rather than roll it out.

FANTASTIC! I used tawny port to soften the cherries -- microwaved them lightly to hasten the process -- and it was sublime! Lessons Learned: DO drain the cherries well, and do NOT remove any of the brie's rind. I removed the top and bottom thinking it would help flavors meld and speed the heating process (I was in a bit of a time crunch). But without the rind to contain things......a bit messy.

Awesome!

I had a dinner party a couple of months ago and hired a friend to help out with the cooking. I put this brie together and had him bake it. He asked me for the recipe and while that isn't that big of a deal here comes the clencher, he is actually a Le Cordon Blue trained executive chef. Make this for people and they will think you are the best cook on the planet.

This is sooo delicious ! My family and friends are always impressed with this recipe. It looks great and the taste is sensational.

I took this to a dinner party and my friends loved it. You can also make mini portions of this appetizer by putting the cheese & honey mixture inside wonton wrappers or croissants prior to baking.

Turned out better than I expected. Would make again the same way!!!

I didn't know how many layers of pastry to use so I used the whole thing. Next time I will halve it.

This is wonderful addition for a Holiday buffet.

Took this to a party where everyone brought an appetizer. This was the first thing gone. Everyone was raving and requesting the recipe. Made it just as the recipe calls for and wouldn't change a thing! This one is a keeper. Thanks for posting!

Absolutely delicious. I think I will try it with the puff pastry shells and pieces of brie the next time. The rosemary was a touch of genius with this assortment of flavors. VERY yummy! Thanks for posting this recipe!!!!

Excellent recipe! I made mine with dried cranberries (softened) and left out the rosemary as I had none on hand. It was a big hit at the holiday potluck and was gone in no time. I will make this again and again -- thanks for sharing :)

My family begs for this every holiday! I use craisins instead of cherries and it's so good we would never try cherries. Make sure you brush some egg along the seam or it may leak a bit - but it still takes great!!!

This is so good. The only thing I canged based on other reviewers was to soak the dried cherries in Grand marnier. I can't wait to make this for my next holiday party! It looks so festive.

I make this recipe every year and just love it! This year I decorated the top festive leaves with my william sonoma pie crust cutter. I highly recommend purchasing one! It looked like a piece of art! It went quickly as usual and everyone raved...also very usual! :)

*JUST* made this, it was wonderful!!

Sooo good - instead of cherries I used crasins and almonds in place of pecans- SOO GOOD

This recipe is awesome! I have made it without modification for several gatherings and everyone loves it!

Amazing! Simply amazing! I subbed Craisins for the cherries. It was a huge hit, and the flavors came together wonderfully!

Great recipe! I could have eaten the whole thing by myself! It's a little sweet but I didn't mind it. Here are a few changes I made . . . 1. Used an 8 oz brie because that's all I could find. It worked just fine! 2. Didn't use fresh rosemary - the dried stuff worked great! Used 1/2 tsp. 3. Substituted dried cranberries for the cherries 4. Rolled to only a 12 in square and it covered my brie.

I made this for my husband's birthday. I had a total of 9 guests and it all got gone. It was delicious and sooo easy to make. This was my first time and I will definitely be making this for future gatherings. I used dried cranberries, orange marmalade, and pecans. This stuff was AWESOME!!!

Delicious and impressive looking appetizer! Everyone asked for the recipe. I used a smaller brie round and only waited about 15 minutes to serve, but there were no leftovers!

This was my first attempt at brie en croute and it turned out beautifully. The only change I made was using crushed rosemary instead of fresh.

people enjoyed this but it got a bit gloppy with all the fat in the cheese

I don't care for puff pastry as it's too oily they remind me of cresent rolls from the tube. SO.... I wrapped mine in parchment paper instead and it was awesome!! Served with water crackers, this was a big hit no Christmas night. Not too sweet and nicely balanced. Yummy :)

Substituted Craisins and almonds for the cherries and pecans - everyone loved it!

Unbelievable. I never thought the rosemary would work but it was incredible. Even my brie-hating daughter loved it!!

I got tons of compliments on this

Big hit with everyone. It was totally gobbled up. I will definitely make this again when entertaining.

I used Craisens instead of cherries, and it was a big hit. I used a smaller wheel of cheese, but still kept the measurements generally the same. Will make again!

This is great. I've done baked brie in all variations and everyone always loves it!

I was soo looking forward to doing this. It took me forever to find the cheese. It cooked so nicely but I was surprised by the taste of the cheese. a little gamy to me.

Excellent recipe! This dish came out perfect! I made a few adjustments: I substituded the cherries for dried cranberries, and walnuts instead of pecans. I also added some honey to the finished dish to make it look nice and glossy. I will definitely make this again. Next time with apricot preserves! YUMMY!!

The variety of flavours in this version are superb! I used a 8 oz round brie wheel rather than the larger because it was all I could find at any of the supermarkets. It worked out great! This is a recipe that looks and tastes very elegant, but is actually quite simple to make. The video tutorial was very helpful, as I have never worked with pastry in this way before. Brilliant!

Wonderful! Followed recipe exactly...

I used craisins instead of cherries, but otherwise followed the recipe. This is a great tasting and pretty dish to bring to any gathering.

Wonderful! Great hit at the party!

It was very good, but next time I think I'll try it with a more tart fruit. Perhaps cranberries or tart cherries? Took it to a holiday party and got rave reviews. People were awed, and it was so easy.

Does not need to sit out for so long, I thought. We liked to eat it while still warm. I would let it set only for 10 minutes, tops. Was so wonderful - huge success!!

Very tasty and fairly easy to make. Great for entertaining. Ingredients would be great for mini puff pastry tarts as well for appetizers.

Is it hard to make? Looks so good, but I'm really just getting started with cooking!

Perfect just as it is! I made this for Chrismas Eve and it was a hugh hit. I cut the rosemary by half(personal preference). Perfect appetizer. Be sure to let it sit the hour before cutting into it or it will probably ooze the cheese, but even so it is delicious

I had to watch the video to understand how this was done...after seeing the video VERY easy recipe and quick! It was a huge hit at our Christmas party!

Awesome!

I made this recipe without the rosemary (I didn't realize I was out). I was in a huge hurry, and didn't seal the puff pastry completely. I also did not brush it with egg before baking. I was very pleased with the results nonetheless! The taste was fantastic! We ate the leftovers thenext day. I'm looking forward to making it properly one day. This is a great recipe.

This is a great recipe- I made it twice, once as written and once using dried apricots. Both got high praise from my guests.

This was great. I made it for a holiday open house and everyone loved it! It was pretty as well!

I made this just a little different - I cut the Brie in half and put the cherrie mixture between the pieces like a filling, then wrapped in the puff pastery. Everyone loved it. I have been asked to make several for a friends party so I guess it was a hit.

This was pretty tasty. I was a little intimated by the recipe at first because I thought it would be harder, but it was really easy. Will make again for sure!

This is absolutly fantastic, I make this often when I gather my friend together for a cook cookout. This recipe is always a bit hit, and you can do so many different things with it.

Fabulous!

This is awesome- I had to make some adjustments due to a time factor, but I substituted dried cranberries for the cherries and used pillsbury pie crust vs the phyllo. It turned out wonderful and will surely make again and will try using the original ingredients. Great nonetheless and very impressive looking!

I made this to take to Thanksgiving at my parents house. It's very simple to put together and very impressive looking. Everyone raved about it and depite the small number of people there none of it came home! Will save this one and make again.

This turned out quite well. my hubby really enjoyed it and had multiple pieces, including having some more for breakfast the next morning!

Definitely something I'd do again - I didn't add the nuts due to a few allergies, but got lots of raves.

I didn't care for the taste combination.

Elegant looking and very easy to make! Made it for a Christmas Party and everybody loved it! Even the pickey ones!

I served this at Bunco last night, and the girls loved it...I will definitely serve this again!

I was surprised to find that this was just OK considering it's rating. I'm a brie lover and thought the idea [in theory] was brilliant. The pecans/honey/cherry mixture didn't really meld due to the thick cheese rind. An expensive appie... but not an absolute keeper.

This is one of those easy things that looks really complicated when it is finished because it is SO pretty. I watched the videos and used the tip of cutting extra pastry dough into leaf shapes and arranging them on top. I took this to a party and everyone was very impressed and there was nothing left over.

Wonderful appetizer! All guests raved about the look and taste!

Great recipe. Made according to directions. Will definitely repeat!

This was very good, easy to make and a hit at my holiday party! Thanks so much!

absolutely loved it!! Huge hit.

So easy and yummy!! Every time I make this I have to pass out the recipe!!

This is the best! I made two (8 oz brie wheels) and the first one was gone in minutes. I used pie crust instead of puff pastry (my mistake, I purchase the wrong thing), and it was fine. I imagine that the puff pastry wouldn't be as heavy, but it was still amazing! The flavors were wonderful. I will definitely make this again.

Everyone loved this, it was simple to make and VERY delicious! I made it exactly as written, and would probably just add a bit more cherries next time, but it was great as is.

We made this as an appetizer for our Christmas dinner. It was a huge hit! It was gone very quickly. The round brie cheese that I found was a bit smaller. Next time I will try to get it in the 13oz. size so there is more to go around. Also used cranberries instead of cherries just because it is a personal preference and it was great! Will make this again for sure.

Served this at Thanksgiving and it was amazing! I always do a baked brie, but the rosemary and honey were divine. Serving again this Christmas! LOVED IT and it was a huge hit!
