Description
A delightful combination of creamy Brie cheese and sweet-tart raspberry preserves wrapped in golden puff pastry, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8-ounce / 225g) wheel Brie cheese
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1/4 cup (60ml) raspberry preserves or jam
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Fresh raspberries & rosemary sprig for garnish (optional)
- Crackers, baguette, or fruit slices for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll thawed puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 12×12 inch (30×30 cm) square.
- Place brie wheel in the center of the pastry. (Optional: slice brie horizontally and stack with filling for better distribution.)
- In a bowl, mix raspberry preserves with chopped rosemary. Spoon mixture over the brie, leaving a border. (Optional: Add chopped nuts.)
- Fold pastry corners over the brie, pressing seams to seal into a neat package. Trim excess pastry if desired.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg with 1 tsp water for egg wash. Transfer wrapped brie (seam-side down) to the baking sheet. Brush pastry generously with egg wash. (Optional: Add decorative pastry cutouts.)
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until pastry is puffed, golden brown, and crisp.
- Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring or cutting, to prevent oozing.
- Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with honey/maple syrup, fresh raspberries, and a rosemary sprig, if desired.
- Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fruit slices.
Notes
Choose a high-quality Brie for the best flavor and ensure the puff pastry is well-thawed before using.
