Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 8 ounces) Brie cheese wheel
- 1 sheet (thawed if frozen) Puff pastry sheet
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- 2 tablespoons Dried cranberries
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Water
- 1 package (or as desired for serving) Crackers or baguette slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the thawed puff pastry sheet on a clean, lightly floured surface.
Center the Brie wheel on the puff pastry.
Drizzle honey over the top of the Brie, then evenly sprinkle the chopped nuts and dried cranberries.
Carefully fold the puff pastry over the Brie, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed. Press the edges to seal, and trim away any excess pastry.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the teaspoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash evenly over the wrapped puff pastry to give it a golden, shiny crust.
Place the wrapped Brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette.
