Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry frozen
  • 16 oz Brie cheese whole wheel
  • ¼ cup raspberry preserves
  • ¼ cup pecans toasted and chopped
  • 1 egg beaten
  • turbinado sugar or coarse sugar for garnish
  • crackers assorted, for serving alongside

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Defrost puff pastry about 15 minutes and unfold.  Preheat oven to 375F and set rack in middle. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice off a thin layer of top rind only - we leave the rest of rind on, but feel free to remove it if desired.
  3. Lay puff pastry sheet out on flat surface and roll out just a little bit if needed to cover entire Brie. 
  4. Place Brie in center of the pastry. Top evenly with nuts and preserves. Gently pull up edges of pastry, wrapping brie completely, and gather pastry edges at the top.
  5. Secure the gathered dough at top with kitchen twine. Double check that none of the brie is exposed, carefully sealing the dough on all sides.
  6. Brush the beaten egg all over top and sides of pastry.  Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  7. Place brie on lined cookie sheet.  Bake 20 minutes or until pastry is a nice golden brown.  Allow to cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve with assorted crackers.

  • Baked brie should cool a bit before serving to allow it to regain a bit of shape for easier serving. 
  • When wrapping your brie in the puff pastry, make sure to seal the dough on all sides. This will help the brie en croute keep its shape and prevent the cheese from oozing out.
  • You can use extra puff pastry to make cut-outs for exterior design if you're going for a special presentation.
  • Feel free to use any other flavor of fruit preserves.
