What is the best way to toast walnuts? Preheat the oven to 350° F. Arrange the walnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast for around 8–10 minutes. The walnuts have to be checked regularly; take them out of the oven when they have a distinct brownish color.
Heat the oven up to 350° F.
Take the brie and remove the top of the cheese. Afterwards, make vertical cuts on the brie.
Place the brie on a pan covered with parchment paper, then sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the toasted walnuts and 1 tablespoon of the dried cranberries over the cheese. Also, add some thyme leaves on the brie. Bake the cheese in the oven for 15 minutes, until it is soft.
Take out the brie cheese and enjoy it with some crackers.

For a sweeter taste, add 2 teaspoons of maple syrup.
If you do not like dried cranberries, try substituting them with the fresh ones. The taste will not change drastically; it will actually give the brie a sweet-sour flavor.
