Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 8 oz Brie cheese wheel
- 0.25 cup Raspberry preserves
- 2 tbsp Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 Egg (beaten)
- 1 tsp Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheet to ensure it is evenly flat and slightly larger if needed to fully enclose the Brie.
Place the Brie wheel in the center of the puff pastry sheet.
Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the top of the Brie. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the preserves.
Fold the puff pastry edges over the Brie, sealing the edges by pressing gently. Ensure there are no gaps or holes in the pastry to prevent leaking during baking.
In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg with 1 teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the entire surface of the pastry wrap to promote golden browning during baking.
Place the wrapped Brie on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to ensure the cheese sets slightly and prevents excessive oozing.
Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices for dipping.
