Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 large egg for egg wash
  • ¼ cup almond slices
  • teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375℉.
  • In a small pot, combine the cranberries and water. Cook on medium heat until the cranberry skins pop open (approximately 10 minutes.) Remove pot from stove and drain water. Set aside.
  • Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough. Separate the dough into triangles (use the perforations as your guide).
  • On an un-greased cookie sheet, arrange the dough triangles into a circle. The dough will overlap and should look like a sun.
  • Spoon the cranberry mixture around the dough, close to the center of the ring. Top with the goat cheese. Drizzle the honey on top of the goat cheese.
  • Bring the dough pieces over the filling. Tuck the edges under the bottom of the dough to secure the filling.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg well to create an egg wash (you can add a little water or milk to it if you like). Use a brush to apply the egg wash on top of the dough.
  • Sprinkle the almond slices on top of the egg wash. Sprinkle the cinnamon on top of the almond slices.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is thoroughly baked. Cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
