Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 8 ounce wheel brie
- 1 tablespoon orange marmalade (or other fruit jam)
- ⅛ cup dried cranberries, currants, raisins, or chopped dates (or a mix)
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (or both)
- 1 egg, beaten
- To serve: grapes, apple slices, crackers, sliced baguette
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out puff pastry onto the paper. Cut off about ⅓ of the puff pastry (reserve).Note: This recipe was written for refrigerated puff pastry. If using frozen puff pastry, thaw before using, rolled out to ¼" thickness, and work on a floured surface instead of parchment paper.
- Place the wheel of Brie in the middle of the larger piece of puff.
- Spread orange marmalade on top of the Brie.
- Add dried fruit and nuts.
- Fold the puff around the Brie until it is entirely wrapped, smoothing any seams with your finger.
- Brush the puff with the beaten egg.
- Optionally, cut use a cookie cutter to cut decorative shapes out of the reserved, unused piece of puff. Add the shapes to top of the wrapped Brie, and brush with more beaten egg.Tip: If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can use the lid from a spice jar to cut circles.
- Bake the Brie for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Serve immediately along with fresh fruit, crackers, or sliced baguette.
Notes
- Makes 16 small servings or 8 generous servings.
- Make Ahead: The Brie can be wrapped in puff up to one day ahead, and then wrapped and refrigerated. Add the egg wash and any decorations right before baking.
