I am all about a good, cheesy starter. Baked brie appetizers always win first prize in my eyes! My Cranberry Baked Brie is a mesh of the most amazing flavors, giving the best combination of sweet and savory.
Its sweetness comes from the generous dollop of cranberry sauce that gets mixed into the freshly baked cheese. Of course, the savory factor comes from the brie itself, as well as the addition of fresh rosemary.
