    Baked Brie in Puff Pastry

    This baked brie in puff pastry recipe is the perfect appetizer to serve at a dinner party. You can eat all this deliciousness without feeling guilty because you have so many people helping you consume it!

    It’s easy to make and so delicious you will glory in every mouthful. You can serve this beautiful appetizer on crackers, bread, pita chips and even by the forkful.

    Helpful tips

    • Take the sheet of puff pastry out of the freezer around 40 minutes before you begin the recipe, so it can thaw.
    • At around 20 minutes, check the pastry to see if you can unfold it without breaking it and when it’s ready, do so.
    • Use a rolling pin to roll out the pastry a little. This will make it slightly bigger and help get rid of the folds. (It doesn’t always get rid of them, but it will smooth the dough out.)
    • Use an egg wash if you want the pastry to turn a shiny golden brown color. Without the egg wash, the finished pastry won’t have that golden glow.
    • This recipe calls for pecans but use whichever nut you prefer or none at all.

    How to make this brie appetizer

    Pre-pre-step

    Take the sheet of puff pastry out of the freezer at least 40 minutes before you are going to use it.

    After it thaws, use a rolling pin to get rid of the fold lines and make it bigger. (It’s okay if they don’t totally disappear as you can see in the photo below.)

    Pre-step

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

    Step one

    Gather the ingredients – brie, prune spread or some other jam, puff pastry and pecans. (A)

    Step two

    Place the thawed puff pastry on the jelly roll pan. Take the paper off the brie and place it on the middle of the pastry. (B)

    Step three

    Take a knife and slather as much jam or spread you want on the brie. (C)

    Step four

    Sprinkle as many pecans you want on the spread. (D)

    Prune spread smeared on the cheese and pecans laid on top

    Wrap it up

    Step five

    Take edges of the puff pastry and wrap the brie into it. (E)

    Step six

    Crack an egg into a mixing bowl and add a few tablespoons of milk. Whisk until combined. Take a brush and distribute the egg wash over the pastry. (F)

    You will have extra egg wash that you can toss or use to make a little omelette. 😉

    Step seven

    Bake for 25 – 30 minutes. As every oven is different, check the brie after 25 minutes to gauge how much longer you need to bake it. It should be a nice golden brown.

    Use as much as you like.

    Notes

    I didn’t add the time it takes to defrost the puff pastry, which would add 40 minutes.

      Baked brie is possibly my favorite food in the world. I mean really, is there anything better than that gooey cheese right when it comes out of the oven? Love the plum jam topping!

      I LOVE baked brie. If I wouldn’t resemble a hippopotamus I’d eat it every day of the week. It’s such a great thing to have stashed in the freezer for a just in case occasion, too.

        I totally agree. It’s a problem when Christopher and I are the only ones eating it. But, I can just do extra exercises…..or not.

      I love brie. This recipe looks yummy and I can’t wait to try it. Just in case if I have leftovers and want to warm that up in the oven, at what temperature and how long should I do that for?

      Thanks,

        I hardly ever have it leftover Ting, but the one time I did, I placed it on a baking sheet, preheated the oven to 325 and heated for 15 – 20 minutes. Just know the puff pastry may get a bit soggy. Good luck!
