Ingredients
- Gubbeen, Brie or similar soft cheese with rind
- Pretzel sticks
- Dried cranberries, finely chopped
- Toasted pecan nuts, finely chopped
- Fresh thyme, chopped
Method
- 1. Cut the cheese in half horizontally so you have 2 rounds of cheese. Cut each round into 4 or 6 triangles, depending on the size of your cheese.
- 2. Gently push a pretzel stick into the bottom rounded end of each cheese triangle for the ‘trunk’ then lightly press the cut & ‘sticky’ side of the cheese into the chopped cranberries, then pecans, and finally, the thyme.
- 3. Arrange on a dish for serving. You can finish with a little bit of flaky salt and ground black pepper, if you like.
