Baked brie pastries are a delectable treat perfect for any occasion, whether it's a casual gathering or a formal party. These pastries combine the richness of creamy brie cheese with the tangy flavors of artichoke hearts and prosciutto, all wrapped in a flaky, golden-brown pastry. In this article, we present three variations of this classic recipe, each offering a unique twist on the original.

**Brie and Artichoke Pastries:**
This classic combination pairs creamy brie with marinated artichoke hearts, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. The artichokes add a subtle tanginess that complements the richness of the brie, while the flaky pastry provides a crispy and buttery crust.

**Brie and Prosciutto Pastries:**
The salty and savory flavors of prosciutto add an extra layer of depth to these pastries. The combination of brie and prosciutto is a timeless classic, and the addition of a touch of arugula adds a peppery kick.

**Brie and Spinach Pastries:**
For a healthier variation, spinach is added to the filling, creating a vibrant green color and a boost of nutrients. The spinach's mild flavor allows the brie to shine through, while the pastry provides a delightful crunch.

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 10-ounce box frozen leaf spinach, thawed, drained
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 small clove garlic, grated
1/4 cup canned artichoke hearts (about 2), drained well and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup shredded whole-milk mozzarella
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
One sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce box), thawed
One 16-ounce wheel of brie
Crackers and crostini, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the spinach in a clean kitchen towel over a bowl or the sink and twist to squeeze out all the moisture. Coarsely chop.
  • Put the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream and garlic in a large bowl; mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper, then refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the egg with a splash of water in a small bowl. Roll out the puff pastry to a 13-by-12-inch wide rectangle. Cut a 1-inch wide strip of dough off the shorter end to create a 12-by-12-inch square, reserving the strip for decorating. Transfer the square to the prepared baking sheet. Place the wheel of brie in the center of the dough. Top with the chilled spinach-artichoke mixture. Fold the puff pastry up and over the brie, brushing the edges with a little egg wash and pinching to seal. Form the reserved strip of dough into a bow. Brush a little egg wash on the center of the pastry and gently press the bow on top to secure. Brush the bow and the entire exterior of the pastry with the egg wash, then return it to the refrigerator to chill, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through, about 40 minutes. Let sit for 15 minutes, then serve warm with crackers and/or crostini.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 demi baguette, thinly sliced on the bias
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
1/3 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
3 tablespoons store-bought basil pesto
1 large egg
All-purpose flour, for dusting
One sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce box), thawed
One 8-ounce wheel of brie
Crackers, sliced red bell peppers and endive, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 350°F.
  • Brush both sides of the sliced bread with the olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Transfer to the air fryer basket, shingling the slices so they all fit snuggly. Air fry until golden brown and toasted, flipping halfway through, about 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the artichokes, sundried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the pesto in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Set aside. Whisk the egg with a splash of water in a small bowl and set the egg wash aside.
  • Dust a clean worksurface or cutting board lightly with flour. Roll out the puff pastry to a 14-by-12-inch rectangle. Cut 1/4-inch-wide strips of dough off the shorter end to create a 12-by-12-inch square, reserving the strips for decorating.
  • Brush the center of the square of puff pastry lightly with the egg wash. Lay the reserved strips at an angle in a crisscross pattern in the center of the square of pastry, 4 going in one direction and 4 in the other. Press down gently to adhere. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the puff pastry, then use the parchment paper to help flip the whole thing over so the crisscross pattern is now facing down.
  • Spoon the artichoke-sundried tomato mixture into the center of the dough, then top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of pesto and the wheel of brie. Fold the puff pastry up and over the brie, brushing the edges with a little egg wash and pinching to seal. Flip the puff pastry-wrapped brie over so the crisscross design is now on top. Brush the entire exterior of the pastry with the egg wash, then refrigerate until the pastry is chilled, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 375°F. Place the brie in the center of the air fryer basket and air fry until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through, about 18 minutes.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes, then serve warm with the toasted bread, crackers, sliced bell peppers and endive.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sheet puff pastry, cut into 9 squares (8 ounces, 1/2 package approx)
6 ounces brie cheese (without rind)
1 cup finely chopped marinated artichoke hearts
2 tablespoons chopped basil
1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 dashes fresh ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chopped prosciutto, ends (1/2 cup chopped thick-cut proscuitto)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • If you have frozen puff pastry, allow it to thaw.
  • Cut the sheet into 9 squares.
  • Push the squares into 9 of the spaces a lightly sprayed muffin tin.
  • In the food processor, whir enough artichoke hearts to make 1 cup of them when they are very finely chopped.
  • In a bowl, combine the artichoke, basil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  • Place about 3/4 to 1 teaspoon brie in the bottom of each puff pastry in the muffin tin (note: brie is much easier to cut when it is very cold).
  • Add about 1 1/2 teaspoon of the artichoke mixture on top of the brie (use up all of the mixture).
  • Top each with the chopped prosciutto and sprinkle with Parmesan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden.
  • Let sit for about 5 minutes before serving (the brie will be *very* hot).
  • Makes 9 appetizers, about 6 servings since some people will have two.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-made puff pastry sheets for the pastries.
  • If you don't have a muffin tin, you can bake the pastries in a regular baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • For a vegetarian version of the pastries, omit the prosciutto.
  • To make the pastries ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them. When you're ready to bake them, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then bake them according to the recipe instructions.
