Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 8 oz Brie cheese wheel
• 0.25 cup Raspberry preserves
• 2 tbsp Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 1 Egg (beaten)
• 1 tsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheet to ensure it is evenly flat and slightly larger if needed to fully enclose the Brie.

Step 3

Place the Brie wheel in the center of the puff pastry sheet.

Step 4

Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the top of the Brie. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the preserves.

Step 5

Fold the puff pastry edges over the Brie, sealing the edges by pressing gently. Ensure there are no gaps or holes in the pastry to prevent leaking during baking.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg with 1 teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the entire surface of the pastry wrap to promote golden browning during baking.

Step 7

Place the wrapped Brie on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.

Step 8

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to ensure the cheese sets slightly and prevents excessive oozing.

Step 10

Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices for dipping.
