Scale
For the Pastry:
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
For the Filling:
- 1 wheel brie cheese (about 8 ounces)
- 1/2 cup jam (apricot or raspberry recommended)
Instructions
For the Pastry:
- 1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out slightly to about an eighth of an inch in thickness.
- 3. Wrap the Brie: Place the brie in the center of the pastry and spoon the jam generously on top.
- 4. Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the edges of the puff pastry over the cheese, sealing in all that gooey goodness. Trim any excess pastry if necessary.
- 5. Egg Wash Time: Whisk together the egg with a splash of water. Brush this mixture over the wrapped brie for a golden finish.
- 6. Bake Until Golden: Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
- 7. Serve: Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Enjoy warm with crackers or sliced baguette.
