Time 50m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

All-purpose flour, for dusting
Half 17.5-ounce package frozen puff pastry, thawed
One 1-pound wheel Brie cheese
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup cranberry chutney or fruit jam
1 tablespoon everything bagel spice or sesame seeds, optional
Crackers, for serving, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry out to an even thickness, about a 13-to-14-inch square. Place the Brie wheel in the center of the pastry and cut the pastry into a round 4 inches wider than the cheese on all sides. Remove the cheese and brush the pastry with a thin layer of beaten egg.
  • Spoon the cranberry chutney into the center of the rolled pastry and spread with the back of a spoon so it is the same size as the circle traced for the Brie. Place the cheese on top of the chutney.
  • Working from the bottom of the circle, begin folding the pastry over the cheese. It will not cover the cheese completely; rather the pastry should just come 1 to 2 inches over the edge of the cheese. Work all the way around the cheese until all the pastry is folded, forming a neat packet around the cheese. (If the pastry is too soft at this point, place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.)
  • Cut a 2-by-2-inch 'x' in the center of the exposed cheese.
  • Brush the folded pastry with more beaten egg and sprinkle with the bagel spice or sesame seeds if using. Transfer to a baking pan and place in the oven. Cook until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving. To serve, cut into wedges. Serve with crackers if desired.
