Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (thawed) puff pastry sheet
- 8 ounces Brie cheese wheel
- 0.25 cup fruit preserves (e.g., raspberry, apricot, or fig)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- (optional) crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheet to ensure it is large enough to fully wrap the Brie wheel.
Place the Brie wheel in the center of the puff pastry sheet. Spread the fruit preserves evenly on top of the Brie.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the preserves, then drizzle honey on top for added sweetness.
Carefully fold the puff pastry around the Brie, sealing the edges by pinching them together to fully enclose the cheese. Trim off any excess pastry, and press lightly to secure.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the entire surface of the puff pastry to ensure a golden finish.
Transfer 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 crispy.
Allow the baked Brie to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette on the side.
