Brie Baked in Puff Pastry
A festive appetizer for all your holiday and celebratory gatherings!
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry defrosted
- 13.2 oz round of your favorite brie cheese
- 1/4 cup cranberry apple compote or favorite seasonal jam
- 1 egg beaten, set aside
- 1 green apple sliced, set aside optional
- assortment of crackers, for serving optional
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat, set aside.
- Lightly flour your rolling surface and rolling pin. Gently roll your puff pastry to be about an inch all around larger than you started.
- Cut the corners of your puff pastry in straight lines to form a little bit of a pinwheel. This will help you to fold your pastry dough around the cheese round. Make as many cuts as you feel you need to wrap the dough.
- Trim the top of your brie to remove the rind from just the top of the round. Place in the center of your rolled out puff pastry.
- Top with apple cranberry compote or seasonal jam.
- Wrap your brie like a little bundle and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425.
- Remove from the refrigerator and brush with your beaten egg. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Move to a plate and serve warm.
Notes
- Use your favorite brie cheese
- Make sure you refrigerate your wrapped brie before baking! Otherwise, the puff pastry will puff up too much
