Ingredients

  • 1 (8-oz.) package crescent roll dough

  • 1/4 cup cranberry sauce

  • 3/4 cup chopped California walnuts, divided

  • 4 oz. Brie cheese

  • 1 egg, beaten

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Unroll crescent roll dough and divide into 8 triangles by cutting along the perforated lines.

  3. Spread equal amounts of cranberry sauce over each triangle and sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.

  4. Cut Brie into 8 equal wedges and press lightly on the larger side to flatten slightly. Place on the short end of the dough and roll up to enclose filling and to form a croissant shape. Place on baking sheet and brush with egg; sprinkle with remaining walnuts.

  5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
