Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 wheel (8 oz) Brie cheese
- 1 sheet (thawed) Frozen puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons Jam or fruit preserves (e.g., apricot or raspberry)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- (for serving) Crackers or sliced baguette
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface.
Place the Brie wheel in the center of the puff pastry.
Spread the jam or fruit preserves evenly on top of the Brie.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the jam.
Carefully fold the edges of the puff pastry up and over the Brie, ensuring that it’s fully enclosed. Trim any excess pastry if needed. Pinch the edges to seal completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash generously over the surface of the wrapped Brie.
Place the wrapped Brie onto 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 crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the cheese to settle.
Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette.
