Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cranberry Brie Crescent Ring

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Open the crescent rolls and lay the dough in a circular shape on the baking sheet, overlapping the points.
Place a wheel of Brie cheese in the center of the dough ring, sliced into wedges.
Spread the cranberry sauce over the Brie, allowing some to drip onto the dough.
Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the cranberry sauce.
Fold the tips of the dough over the filling, tucking them underneath to seal it.
Whisk together the egg and water, then brush the mixture over the dough.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool for a few minutes and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
