Ingredients

  • 1 Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets just one sheet, thawed
  • 8 ounce Brie cheese
  • ½ cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 large egg yolk beaten
  • 1 Tablespoon water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Thaw Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheet according to package directions.
  2. Once thawed, place brie wheel in center of puff pastry. Top with cranberry sauce and pecans.
  3. Using a small leaf shaped cookie cutter, cut two leaves out of the corners of the puff pastry. Bring up all four corners of pastry, pinching seams at the top. Bring up loops on sides, pinching the seams at the top. Place two leaf cut outs on top of seams.
  4. Beat egg yolk with water. Brush pastry with beaten egg yolk, for a deeper color when baked. It will also help the pastry stay closed if brushed on the edges.
  5. Bake pastry on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 18-20 minutes, until pastry is golden and flaky.
  6. Remove and enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Before wrapping the cheese, I used a small “leaf” shaped cookie cutter to cut TWO leaves for garnish. I cut them out of a corner of the Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets. This is totally optional. You can cut a pumpkin, or turkey, or nothing.To help the top look pretty, I placed the two leaves on top of the seams for a little extra holiday fun!
  • Serve the baked brie with your favorite crackers. Any sturdy crackers you’d usually serve with a wheel of soft cheese will do.
  • This Baked Brie wheel looks great surrounded by other cheese board staples like grapes, slices fruit, nuts and toasted bread points, too.
  • You don’t have to reserve this cheese appetizer just for the holidays, either! It’s a great addition to any party or potluck, no matter the occasion. I can even see this becoming a snack for our family movie or game nights!
  • Don’t have pecans? Feel free to leave them out. You could also substitute walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds here. Use our guide on how to toast pecans for best flavor.
