Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tube (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 round (8 oz) Brie cheese wheel
- 3 tablespoons Dried apricots
- 3 tablespoons Dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean surface with all-purpose flour. Unroll the crescent dough and gently press the seams together to form a single sheet.
Place the brie wheel in the center of the crescent dough.
In a small bowl, mix together the dried apricots, dried cranberries, slivered almonds, and honey. Spread this mixture evenly on top of the brie cheese.
Carefully fold the crescent dough over the brie and toppings, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal.
In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the dough to give it a golden, shiny finish.
Place the wrapped brie on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly.
Transfer the baked brie to a serving platter and enjoy warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices.
