Puff Pastry Crusted Baked Brie Recipe
Description
The recipe involves roasting cherry tomatoes seasoned with olive oil, salt, and cracked black pepper until golden and tender. Meanwhile, a puff pastry sheet is softened and wrapped around a Brie wheel after slicing off a thin rind side for better melting. The pastry is sealed and brushed with egg wash to achieve a shiny golden crust when baked. Baking times are adjusted to accommodate both components, ensuring the Brie melts inside while the pastry browns.
The result is a showy baked Brie with a flaky, crisp crust and gooey interior. The roasted tomatoes add bright, lightly sweet notes that complement the rich, creamy cheese. Fresh basil provides an herbal aroma and finish. This dish pairs well with crusty breads, crackers, or vegetable chips as a spread or dip.
Additional ideas include creating twisted puff pastry straws with leftover dough, or switching the topping for sweet variations with maple syrup and toasted nuts. Leftovers can be refrigerated tightly sealed for several days and reheated before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5 oz cherry tomato
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper cracked
- 1 puff pastry thawed, sheet, store-bought
- 250 g Brie cheese
- 1 egg
- basil fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F and prepare one baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Allow one sheet of puff pastry to come to room temperature + soften, either in the fridge or on the counter.
- Add the cherry tomatoes to a small cast-iron skillet or baking dish.
- Drizzle with olive oil, add salt & pepper.
- Roast for 20 – 25 minutes, until golden on top. Set aside.
- Set the baking tray into the oven for 10 minutes while you prepare the wrapped brie.
- Carefully slice off the thin layer of rind from one side.
- Roll out the sheet of puff pastry onto the counter and place your wheel of brie on top.
- Cut the puff pastry 2 -3 inches around the brie wheel.
- Next, using your hands, fold one edge of the dough over the side of the brie. Repeat until all edges are wrapped around the brie.
- Whisk the egg in a small bowl, and brush the entire surface area of puff pastry. This will create a nice, golden brown color.
- Remove the baking tray, with parchment paper, from the oven and set the wrapped brie on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then add the roasted tomatoes on top.
- Bake for another 5 - 10 minutes, until golden.
- Serve immediately with fresh chopped basil and crackers.
Notes
- Use leftover puff pastry dough to make twisted straws by brushing with egg wash, seasoning, twisting, and baking until golden brown.
- Roast assorted vegetables to accompany the baked Brie or opt for a sweet topping like maple syrup and toasted nuts instead of tomatoes.
- Serve the warm Brie with toasted sourdough, pita bread, tortilla chips, or crackers for dipping.
- Store leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for 4 to 6 days and reheat before serving.
