⭐Why You'll Love Prosciutto Wrapped Brie
- Versatile: It can work on a charcuterie board or as a standalone appetizer for the holiday season or any time of year.
- Easy to Make: This easy recipe uses just 3 ingredients (like our Pepperoni Pizza Roses) and is a quick recipe to use when entertaining.
- Flavor Combination: The saltiness of the prosciutto pairs well with the creamy and mild flavor of the melty brie cheese. The cranberry sauce adds a touch of sweetness and tartness.
🥣Ingredient Notes
- Whole Cranberry Sauce - You can also use homemade cranberry sauce if you happen to have that on hand.
- Brie Wheel - We used an 8oz wheel of cheese. This recipe works best with a round brie cheese that is soft and creamy to complement the salty prosciutto.
- Prosciutto - Make sure the prosciutto is thinly sliced.
📋How To Make Prosciutto Wrapped Brie
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unwrap the brie cheese and place it on a cutting board.
STEP 2: Place prosciutto on the top of the creamy brie in a fan pattern, making sure to cover all the cheese.
STEP 3: Turn over so that the prosciutto is on the bottom. Add 2 tablespoons of the cranberry sauce.
STEP 4: Carefully wrap and fold the prosciutto slices around the brie's sides, ensuring the cheese is fully covered.
STEP 4: Transfer the prosciutto wrapped cheese to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 400F for 20 minutes, then broil for 2 to 3 minutes.
STEP 5: Place this appetizer on a serving platter or dish and surround it with bread and crackers.
👩🏻🍳Expert Tips
Tip 1: The brie will harden as it sits out, so you can pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to get it melty again if you need to.
Tip 2: You can serve this 3 ingredient appetizer with bread, crostini, crackers, or apple slices.
🤷🏻♀️Recipe FAQs
I used 6-8 slices of prosciutto. You will want to use enough so that you have full coverage of the cheese.
If you prefer a sweeter flavor profile, you can substitute 2 tablespoons of your favorite preserves. You can also add a drizzle of honey over the top of the prosciutto wrapped baked brie.
You can store this wrapped in plastic wrap in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Delicious! Baked brie is one of my favorite snacks/appetizers - I've always done it on the sweeter side with pastry puff, this was a wonderfully delicious deviation from that and I LOVED it!
Beth says
This is one of the best baked brie recipes I've made. The smoky prosciutto surrounding all that gooey brie is just fantastic.
