Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 8 oz Brie cheese wheel
- 1 cup Button mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tbsp Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the chopped mushrooms for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and most of the moisture has evaporated.
Add the minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the mushrooms. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface, ensuring it’s large enough to fully wrap around the brie.
Carefully slice the brie wheel in half horizontally to create two thinner disks.
Place the bottom half of the brie on the center of the puff pastry. Spoon the mushroom mixture evenly onto the brie, then place the top half of the brie over the filling.
Fold the puff pastry up and over the brie, ensuring it’s fully sealed by pinching the edges together. Trim off excess pastry as needed and press gently to create a smooth seal.
Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the wrapped brie to ensure even browning.
Transfer the wrapped brie to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow the brie en croute to cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, bread, or fresh fruit.
