Baked Cranberry Brie in Pastry
The most decadent way to start a festive meal, it is a real winner with everyone! Get the pastry sorted ahead of time and the rest is simple. WINNING!
I served this a couple of years ago to my usual suspects who meet a few times a year with our husbands to share amazing decadent food. We had this for the starter, and there were groans and moans and no empty plates. SO, if you get the pastry and cranberry sauce all organised ahead of time, you will have plenty of happiness to go around the entire table. It works well on a grazing table, but equally well if you serve it on plates, with a little greenery for something free to get you through all the richness.
(Then schedule a hard session at the gym to keep the arteries clear!) Merry Christmas!
