This gooey, melty wheel of cheese—topped with a vibrantly-hued cranberry honey—is sure to be a showstopper, especially when baked in a mini cast-iron skillet. Orange peel, fresh thyme, and cracked black pepper infuse the syrup with layers of flavor, and a sprinkling of roasted almonds adds crunchy contrast.

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 tsp. cracked black pepper
2 2-inch strips orange peel, plus orange zest for serving
2 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for serving
1 8-oz. wheel Brie or Camembert
2 to 3 tbsp. deeply roasted almonds, roughly chopped
Crackers and sliced baguette, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Step 2In small saucepan, combine honey, cranberries, pepper, orange peel, and thyme and bring to a simmer; simmer, stirring occasionally and lightly smashing cranberries, until cranberries have softened and syrup slightly thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Discard orange peel and thyme, transfer to bowl, and let cool 10 minutes.
3. Step 3Place Brie in 6-inch cast-iron skillet. Spoon cranberry syrup on top and bake until cheese is soft, 7 to 9 minutes. Top with almonds, additional thyme, and orange zest if desired. Serve with crackers and sliced baguette.
