Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed but still cold
- All-purpose flour, for rolling
- 1 (7-8 ounce) round brie cheese
- 1/4 cup Jam
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
- 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon water, beaten
- Baguette slices or crackers, for serving
- Fruit slices, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat: oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare: Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface to an 11-inch square (about 1/8-inch-thick), discarding any extra pastry. Place pastry square on prepared baking sheet, and set wheel of Brie (rind still on) in the middle of the pastry.
- Spread jam evenly over the top of Brie. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if using.
- Close pastry around Brie. Fold one edge of the puff pastry over the top of the Brie. Brush folded section of the pastry with your egg wash. Working in a circle, continue folding the dough over the Brie, brushing with egg wash after each fold. Press gently to adhere, until all pastry is wrapped around the Brie.
- Score the top of the dough being careful not to cut all the way through dough.
- Bake: Brie in preheated oven until golden brown all over and pastry is cooked through, about 35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Serve with crackers and fruit slices.
Notes
*Make ahead: The brie can be wrapped in the puff pastry and kept refrigerated for up to a day before baking and serving. Brush with the egg wash just before baking.
*As mentioned, puff pastry is best served fresh. This recipe can be made without the puff pastry as just a baked brie. The puff pastry makes the appetizer a bit more impressive.
