Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce round of Brie cheese
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 0.5 cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 package crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to remove creases and thin it slightly, ensuring it will fully wrap the Brie.
Place the Brie in the center of the puff pastry. Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the top of the Brie.
Gently fold the puff pastry over the Brie, ensuring all edges are sealed. Trim any excess pastry if needed and press to seal tightly.
Flip the wrapped Brie over so the folds are on the bottom. Place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash evenly over the puff pastry to give it a golden and shiny finish when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the Brie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes to ensure the cheese is melted but not too runny.
Transfer the Brie to a serving platter and serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette. Enjoy!
