Baked Brie Mustard fruits and walnuts
Description
This recipe uses a whole round of Brie or similar cheese placed on puff pastry, topped with slices of mustard-flavored fruit paste—options include quince, guava, or cranberry—and chopped walnuts. The puff pastry is folded gently to encase the cheese and fillings, and edges trimmed to prevent thickness.
Brushing the pastry with a beaten egg yolk and salt mixture enhances browning and adds subtle flavor during baking. The cheese bakes until soft and melty inside a crisp golden shell. The combination balances creamy, sweet, and nutty elements for varied textures.
Baked Brie is best served warm, allowing the melted cheese to be spread onto crackers or alongside fresh vegetables and cured meats. Herb variations like thyme, rosemary, or adding truffle honey can deepen the flavor profile.

- 200 gm white mold cheese Brie or Camembert
- 1 puff pastry frozen or home made, sheet

- Unwrap the cheese and put it onto the puff pastry. The puff pastry cooks better if not too thick or overlapped.
- Top the cheese with the quince or mustard fruit and nuts. Fold the puff pastry over the cheese cutting off the pieces that overlap. Paint with the salty egg yolk. (This mixture flavours and colours the pastry) .
- Bake the cheese for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden.
