Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 round (approximately 8 ounces) Brie cheese wheel
- 0.5 cup Cranberry sauce
- 1 sheet (thawed) Puff pastry sheet
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh rosemary (optional)
- 1 assortment Crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to ensure it’s large enough to fully wrap the brie wheel. Set it aside.
Using a knife, carefully slice the brie wheel horizontally to create two equal halves.
Spread the cranberry sauce evenly on the cut side of one half of the brie, then sprinkle with chopped fresh rosemary if using.
Place the other half of the brie over the cranberry sauce to reassemble the wheel.
Place the stuffed brie in the center of the rolled-out puff pastry.
Wrap the puff pastry around the brie wheel, trimming any excess dough and pinching the edges to seal securely.
Flip the brie over to ensure the seam is on the bottom, and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash evenly over the surface of the puff pastry for a golden finish.
Optional: Decorate the top with puff pastry cutouts (such as leaves or stars) and brush these with egg wash as well.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly before serving.
Serve warm with crackers or slices of baguette.
