If you’re looking for an easy, cheesy, warm and delicious appetizer that also makes a great presentation, this Baked Brie with Cranberries is it!

I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for a while now and decided to take it to book club last night! That was a very good decision because otherwise, I would’ve eaten way too much of it! The warm cheese on the crunchy, toasted baguette slice is just too delicious!

I baked the brie in my 6 inch cast iron skillet that belonged to my grandmother! It’s one of my most prized posessions and I was thrilled to use it for this recipe! Since the skillet is so hot coming out of the oven, it’s good to place it on a board surrounded with bread and crackers and be sure to warn your guests! This appetizer won’t last long once you put it out because who doesn’t love brie! The almonds on top give it a nice crunch! Don’t be tempted to leave out the black pepper because it gives the cranberries a nice unexpected bite and the thyme is a delicious addition! Keep scrolling for the recipe!
