I guess not just holidays, but because it's warm and rich with great red color of the cherries it seems perfect for holiday entertaining. Made this twice in December for groups of friends and family. It was a huge hit. I even reheated part of one the next day and it was still gobbled up.

A couple things I changed?I used just one sheet of puff pastry and folded over and top so it still looked good. I didn't want to go through the extra steps with 2 layers and didn't want the extra dough. Then a few minutes before it was done I sprinkled a little more nuts and cherries on top (as well as using a little more than called for between layers of brie. You could use cranberries too but I much prefer cherries. I also cut off most of the rind before slicing the cheese in half (don?t like rind. And one egg is plenty for the wash.

This was really, really easy to make. I actually used dried cranberries and poached them in cognac and water with some orange zest and let them stew for about an hour. The orange and the cognac added a nice extra layer of flavor. Making it again tonight for Christmas Dinner tomorrow!

I made this for a party, and everyone loved it. They were sad when it was gone, and wanted the recipe.

We'll definitely make this again. The recipe was easy to follow and it looked quite impressive in the end.

I served this as an appetizer for Thanksgiving. It was a huge hit. I made it the day before and baked it off the next morning. I did not have any problems with the cheese coming out as some other people have mentioned. I highly recommend this recipe. It was delicious.

I made this in a glass pie dish (based on several comments. I sprinkled a few cherries and almonds around the finished product before baking and the cheese that did escape, mixed well. I also baked the first part at home and transported to a friend's for the second part of the baking. I also shaved the skin off of the sides and top which made this so much easier to eat without the worry of the skin getting in the way. Everyone loved it and said it was the best baked brie they haver ever had!

I made this recipe for my big Thanksgiving dinner last night. Most of my family really enjoyed it. I substituted dried cranberries for the cherries, and chopped pecans for the almonds. Unfortunately, the puff pastry came apart on one of the sides during the baking process and the cheese began to flow out all over the parchment paper. I ended up having to slide the entire thing off into one of my corningware casserole dishes to finish off the baking. Served it with sea salt bagel chips, whole grain butter crackers, and a nice assortment of berries and grapes. All in all, a good dish. *Note - I had a hard time finding a wheel that was larger than 4-5 inches. My grocer ended up having to special-price a larger wheel from the cooler for me. The wheel alone ended up costing $30. So be prepared for the expense if you are working off of a budget.

This wasn't hard, but time consuming and totally worth it. We served it as the first course at a formal dinner and it went over better than we imagined and started off our dinner right. Being a formal dinner we used very small pieces and sprinkled the plate with the brown sugar and almonds, which prettied it up a bit and it was the perfect amount. I highly recommend to impress!

Brought this to a wine tasting party. Everyone thought it was delicious. It was easy to make and tasted perfect. The cherries are right on target. This is such a keeper!
