Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 8 ounces wheel of brie cheese
- 0.5 cup cranberry sauce
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for rolling pastry)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 12x12-inch square.
Place the wheel of brie in the center of the puff pastry.
Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the top of the brie.
Sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds over the cranberry sauce.
Drizzle honey over the almond and cranberry topping for extra sweetness.
Carefully fold the puff pastry over the brie, pleating and pressing the edges to seal the cheese completely inside the pastry. Trim any excess dough if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Brush the entire surface of the wrapped brie with the egg wash to ensure a golden finish 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 pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the brie en croute cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh fruit for dipping.
