Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece wheel of brie cheese (approx. 8 oz)
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 0.5 cup cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 piece egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
- 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.
Lightly roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to ensure it’s large enough to fully wrap the brie wheel.
Place the wheel of brie cheese in the center of the puff pastry sheet.
Spread the cranberry sauce evenly on top of the brie. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans over the cranberry sauce for added texture and flavor.
Fold the puff pastry over the brie, ensuring all edges are sealed. Trim any excess pastry if necessary and press the seams together securely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the surface of the wrapped pastry to ensure a golden color when baked.
Transfer the wrapped brie to the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
Remove the baked brie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, if desired, and serve with crackers or sliced baguette on the side.
