Ingredients
- 1 piece wheel of brie cheese (approx. 8 oz)
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 0.5 cup cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 piece egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
- 1 package crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lightly roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to ensure it’s large enough to fully wrap the brie wheel.
Step 3
Place the wheel of brie cheese in the center of the puff pastry sheet.
Step 4
Spread the cranberry sauce evenly on top of the brie. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans over the cranberry sauce for added texture and flavor.
Step 5
Fold the puff pastry over the brie, ensuring all edges are sealed. Trim any excess pastry if necessary and press the seams together securely.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the surface of the wrapped pastry to ensure a golden color when baked.
Step 7
Transfer the wrapped brie to the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
Step 9
Remove the baked brie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, if desired, and serve with crackers or sliced baguette on the side.
