⭐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
How many slices of prosciutto do you use?
I used 6-8 slices of prosciutto. You will want to use enough so that you have full coverage of the cheese.
What else can I use besides cranberry sauce?
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.
How do you store 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
This is one of the best baked brie recipes I've made. The smoky prosciutto surrounding all that gooey brie is just fantastic.
