Preheat the oven at 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the brie on the baking sheet.
9.5 oz. Round brie cheese
Position the cookie cutter in the center of the brie, pushing down to the bottom of the cheese to create a center focal point for your cranberry sauce to sit on top of.
Remove the cheese cut-out and slice it down in thickness without changing the shape. This is particularly important if your brie is thick.
Return the cheese cut-out to the center of the brie and bake for 5-8 minutes, until softened.
While the brie bakes, cook the remaining ingredients for the cranberry sauce.
1 cup Fresh cranberries, ¼ cup Honey, Maple Syrup, or Brown Sugar, 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon lemon Juice, ¼ teaspoon Salt, ¼ teaspoon Pepper, ¼ cup Chopped walnuts
Bring the cranberry mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until it has thickened.
Remove the cranberry mixture from the stove top to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Once cooled, pour the cranberry sauce into the center of the brie.
