If you want an elegant and easy appetizer, this Cranberry Pecan Brie Wrapped In Puff Pastry Recipe is perfect.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 1 round brie cheese 8 oz
- 1/3 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon honey optional
- 1 egg for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare Puff Pastry
- Roll out puff pastry on a flat surface. Make sure it is large enough to wrap the brie completely.
Add Brie and Toppings
- Place brie in the center. Top with cranberry sauce and chopped pecans evenly.
Wrap the Brie
- Fold pastry over the brie. Seal edges tightly and trim any excess dough if needed.
Prepare Egg Wash
- Whisk egg with water. Brush over the pastry to create a golden, shiny crust.
Bake
- Place wrapped brie on tray. Bake for 20–25 minutes until pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Cool Slightly
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5–10 minutes. This helps the cheese set slightly.
Serve Warm
- Serve warm with crackers, bread or fruit slices for dipping.
Notes
- Use homemade cranberry sauce for fresh flavor
- Add walnuts instead of pecans
- Drizzle maple syrup instead of honey
- Sprinkle rosemary for a savory twist
- Use phyllo dough for a lighter crust
- Add sliced apples inside for extra sweetness
- Serve immediately for best texture
