This delicious treat is the perfect snack or appetizer to add to your holiday menu. It's melt in your mouth good and super simple but looks difficult and will impress your guests!
Ingredients:
- Puff pastry sheets (comes in a 2-pack but you only need 1)
- Craisins - 1/2 cup
- 1 Egg
- Apricot Jam - 1 large spoonful
- Brie Wheel 8oz
- Crackers - we like to pair with Cracked Pepper Water Crackers
Directions:
- Put 1/2 cup of Craisins into water to soak
- Take out the puff pastry to thaw - gently unroll so you don't crack it on the fold lines. It took mine about 20 minutes to thaw enough to roll it out.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat 1 egg and set to the side.
- Once the pastry is thawed, sprinkle a little flour on your rolling surface and roll out to smooth all your edges. Mine was about 15" x 15"
- Take a large spoonful of the apricot jam and spoon into the center and then even out in a 4" circle
- Place your Brie wheel right on top of the jam.
- Drain the Craisins and place on top of the Brie.
- Brush the four corners of your puff pastry with egg.
- Take the four corners of your puff pastry and gather and the top. Pinch and twist until you have a bonded top.
- Transfer your Brie to a baking sheet which is well oiled.
- Brush the top of the Brie and all over with egg.
- Cook for20-25 minutes. Watch the top of the puff pastry to make sure it is not burning on the top.
- Let the Brie sit for 5-10 minutes before serving with crackers and a small cheese knife.
Enjoy!
Here the craisons are soaking in water which helps let the flavor out.
