Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 (8-ounce) wheel Brie cheese
- 1/4 cup fruit preserves (such as fig, apricot, or raspberry)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to a 12-inch square.
- Place the Brie wheel in the center of the pastry. Spread the fruit preserves on top of the Brie, then sprinkle with chopped nuts.
- Fold the pastry up and over the Brie, pleating the edges and pressing to seal. Trim any excess pastry if needed. Flip the wrapped Brie seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water. Brush the egg wash over the pastry.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh fruit.
Tips
- For a savory twist, omit the preserves and nuts and add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary, and a drizzle of honey.
- If the pastry gets too brown before the cheese is fully melted, tent loosely with foil.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes.
