Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Open a can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and tear the dough into two rectangles, pressing seams together.
Place one rectangle of dough on parchment paper, spoon 1/4 cup of cranberry sauce in the center, and top with a round of Brie cheese.
Cover with the second rectangle of crescent roll dough, folding edges up around Brie and sealing the filling inside.
Whisk the egg to prepare an egg wash and coat the dough surface evenly.
Place the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25 to 40 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
