Pomegranate Baked Brie

This baked brie with pomegranate is our go-to holiday appetizer. It’s a wheel of rich brie cheese baked in the oven until bubbly, then topped with pomegranate, pistachios, and honey. It’s festive, everyone loves it, and it’s ready in just 15 minutes!

There’s truly nothing better than gooey baked brie topped with pomegranate seeds, nuts, and honey, which is exactly why this is my go-to holiday appetizer year after year. It’s creamy, crunchy, sweet, and slightly tart, and the red, green, and white colors make it feel instantly festive on the table.

I love how easy this one is to pull together, especially when I’m hosting. I bake a round of brie until it’s soft and bubbly, then finish it with a splash of brandy, a drizzle of honey, a generous sprinkle of pomegranate seeds, and chopped pistachios. That’s it. It’s delicious served simply with crackers or a baguette, but it also works beautifully as the warm centerpiece on a holiday cheese board.

It’s one of those appetizers that looks impressive without requiring much effort, and it never lasts long once it’s set out. Guests always swoon, and I’m always happy to make it again the next year.
