1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 (17.3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry (such as Pepperidge Farm®), thawed

¾ cup dried cranberries
½ cup sliced almonds
1 (7 inch) wheel Brie cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Brush the edges of the pastry with some of the egg wash. Fold top and bottom of pastry over the dough; trim 2 inches off each edge. Fold remaining pastry on top to cover the Brie cheese completely. Press the seams with your fingers to seal. Remove any excess apricot preserves that leaks out.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary, plus rosemary sprigs, for garnish
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup red wine, such as Cabernet
1 large egg
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
One 8-ounce wheel of Brie
Dried cranberries, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
  • Put the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the onion, minced rosemary, thyme and garlic and stir to combine. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper, then stir. Deglaze the pan with the wine and continue to cook until the wine has reduced, about 1 minute. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, make an egg wash by beating the egg with 1 tablespoon of cold water.
  • Lay out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and pile the mushrooms in the middle. Place the wheel of Brie in the center. Fold up the sides of the puff pastry to enclose the mushrooms and Brie, folding in the edges to seal. Place the wrapped Brie on the prepared sheet pan seam-side down and brush with the egg wash.
  • Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then top with rosemary sprigs and dried cranberries to resemble an evergreen bush with berries.

BAKED BRIE EN CROUTE



Baked Brie En Croute image

This MY tweaked version of a recipe by Paula Deen (She rocks my world!) AND, this is quite similar to the appetizer at THE CAV that we fell head over heels in LOVE with! I am often torn with brie between "rind" or NO RIND". Speaking from experience, this appetizer needs the rind, or it will simply be volcanic OOZE all over you baking sheet! So, I slice off just the TOP rind in order for the preserves and yummy toasted nuts to blend into the cheese. Also, please feel free to use ANY flavor of fruit preserve that suits your tastes. I listed apricot and strawberry because that's what I have used in the past! : >
