Baked Brie Air Fryer Recipe with Cranberries and Pistachios
This air fryer baked brie is perfect for entertaining – whether it’s summer and you don’t want to turn on the oven or it’s the holiday season and the oven is occupied. And could there be anything better than plunging toasted baguette slices into molten, melty brie?
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh orange peel
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup coarsely chopped salted pistachios
- 2 tablespoon honey
- ⅛ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 oz wheel of brie
- 2 tablespoon cranberry orange jam
- 1 tablespoons chopped fresh basil optional
- ½ tablespoon chopped fresh mint optional
Instructions
- I like to rehydrate my cranberries before using in this recipe. To do that, heat ½ cup water in the microwave for a minute. Add cranberries. Let sit 5-15 minutes and then drain. If you do this, chop the cranberries as they will plump and be much bigger.
- Mix together everything but the jam, the brie, and the fresh herbs (if using) to create a cranberry-nut topping.
- Remove brie from the refrigerator up to one hour before baking and let it come to room temperature so it cooks faster and more evenly.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 5 minutes.
- Place the wheel of brie cheese on a piece of parchment paper and spread the top of the brie cheese with 2 tablespoon of jam.
- Place the cheese in the center of the air fryer basket.
- Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes or until soft and gooey. The brie will start to bulge at the sides and be soft in the center if you press it. Actual cooking time depends on a few factors, such as brand, size and temp of cheese when it goes in the air fryer.
- Start checking the brie after 4 minutes.
- Remove from the air fryer and top with the pistachio, cranberry, honey mixture.
- Optional: add chopped, fresh basil, mint, or both
- Serve immediately with baguette crostini or crackers.
