BAKED BRIE

This is one of those new recipes that you’ll want to share with all your friends. Baked brie is a great blend of easy and fancy, especially if you want something to serve at your next party that you don’t need to work all day to make.

Brie has a naturally earthy, nutty flavor that compliments the light, crunchy flavor of puff pastry perfectly. You can serve it up with any assortment of fruit preserves you’d like, raspberry works wonderfully because of the crisp, tart flavor. Easy baked brie is fantastic, and you don’t need a sharp knife to cut through it because baking the rind makes it soft without making it fall apart.

Baked Brie will be the star of any holiday party finger food spread, or it can be a perfect starter to a special holiday meal followed by Baked Ham, Candied Yams, and Green Bean Casserole.

HOW TO MAKE BAKED BRIE

  • Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees and getting out the pastry. If you’re using frozen puff pastry, you’ll want to make sure that it’s properly thawed out.
  • Roll out the puff pastry on a large cutting board. You may want to lightly dust the board and the rolling pin you’re about to use with flour to keep the pastry dough from sticking.
  • Roll the pastry dough out until it’s about 1/4th of an inch thick. Make sure that it’s evenly flattened.
  • Set the round of brie in the middle of the puff pastry and add the raspberry preserves to the top rind.
  • Fold the pastry over the top of the brie to cover it completely. Gently pinch the dough to keep it in place.
  • Set the brie, pastry and preserve assembled onto a baking sheet.
  • Mix together the egg and water to make an egg wash and brush it over the top of the pastry. Make sure to wipe away any of the egg wash that drips onto the cookie sheet to keep it from collecting underneath the brie.
  • Put it in the oven and let it bake for 35 to 40 minutes until it turns golden brown. Keep an eye on the brie and adjust the cook time if you see it completely melting.
  • Let it cool down for at least 5 minutes and then serve it up.

  1. I haven’t made this recipe yet. I’m wondering if it can be prepared ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator until time to bake it.

    1. The puff pastry being in the refrigerator for that long isn’t a great idea. If you want to assemble it and freeze it. You can thaw for 20 minutes before baking.
