Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 8 ounces wheel of brie cheese
- 0.5 cup cranberry sauce
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for rolling pastry)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 12x12-inch square.
Step 3
Place the wheel of brie in the center of the puff pastry.
Step 4
Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the top of the brie.
Step 5
Sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds over the cranberry sauce.
Step 6
Drizzle honey over the almond and cranberry topping for extra sweetness.
Step 7
Carefully fold the puff pastry over the brie, pleating and pressing the edges to seal the cheese completely inside the pastry. Trim any excess dough if necessary.
Step 8
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Step 9
Brush the entire surface of the wrapped brie with the egg wash to ensure a golden finish when baked.
Step 10
Transfer the wrapped brie to the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and let the brie en croute cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Step 13
Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh fruit for dipping.
