Servings: 6-8
Ingredients:
6 canned pineapple rings
9 maraschino cherries
2 tablespoons light brown sugar, divided
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
1 8-ounce tube seamless crescent roll dough
1 small (6-9 ounce) wheel Wisconsin brie cheese
Cooking Directions:
Place pineapple rings and maraschino cherries on folded paper towels and let stand about 10 minutes to
drain excess liquid. Sprinkle pineapple slices with 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar; grill or broil until
rings begin to caramelize. Set aside.
Heat oven to 360°F.
Spray sides of small cast iron skillet with cooking spray; add melted butter. Add remaining 1 1/2
tablespoons light brown sugar to skillet and stir until evenly combined. Place 1 pineapple ring in center
of skillet and arrange remaining 5 rings around it so cast iron skillet bottom is covered. Place 1 cherry
in each center hole of pineapple rings.
Unroll crescent dough on lightly floured or nonstick surface. Trim dough into square shape; place brie in
center of square. Tightly wrap crescent dough around brie and pinch ends together to tightly seal dough.
Place brie, seam-side-down, over pineapple rings. Bake until brown sugar is bubbling and top of crescent
dough is a light golden brown, about 25-35 minutes. Quickly invert brie onto plate; let sit 10-15 minutes
before cutting and serving.
