Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry sheet (Pepperidge Farms)
- 1/3 cup Pumpkin Butter, Fig Jam, Blackberry Jam, etc.
- 8 ounce wheel Brie cheese
- 1 large egg (whisked)
- Cinnamon Stick and Sage Leaf
- Baker's Twine
Serve with:
- Crackers, Fresh Fruit like Grapes and Apples, Cheddar Cheese, Dried Sweetened Orange Slices (can be found at Trader Joe's) or Dried Apricots.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare the puff pastry. If using frozen puff pastry sheets, remove them from the freezer and let them defrost according to package instructions.
- Place the puff pastry on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Spread the jam in the center of the puff pastry and place the brie round on top.
- Wrap the puff pastry around the brie and pinch the edges to seal it. Cut about 6 strings of baker’s twine and begin tying them around the wrapped brie to form a pumpkin. I suggest tying each one tight enough to make an indention in the puff pastry.
- Brush egg wash around the pastry sheet and then bake in the oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is a light golden brown color.
- Allow the brie to cool for several minutes and then carefully cut and remove the strings. Place the cinnamon stick in the center to resemble a pumpkin stem and the sage leaf.
- Serve warm with french baguettes, cheese, crackers, grapes, or sliced apples.
