This gooey, melty wheel of cheese—topped with a vibrantly-hued cranberry honey—is sure to be a showstopper, especially when baked in a mini cast-iron skillet. Orange peel, fresh thyme, and cracked black pepper infuse the syrup with layers of flavor, and a sprinkling of roasted almonds adds crunchy contrast.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup
honey
- 1/4 cup
fresh or frozen cranberries

Directions
