Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8-ounce) wheel of creamy brie cheese
- 1/3 cup raspberry jam (about 110g)
- 1 sheet thawed puff pastry (optional)
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted nuts (pecans or walnuts, optional)
- Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional)
- Crackers or baguette slices for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly score the top rind of the brie wheel in a crisscross pattern with a sharp knife, cutting just the surface.
- Spread about 1/3 cup of raspberry jam evenly over the top of the brie. Sprinkle chopped toasted nuts on top if using.
- If using puff pastry, roll out the thawed sheet on a lightly floured surface large enough to wrap the brie completely. Place the brie jam side up in the center, fold pastry edges over and seal. Trim excess dough and brush with beaten egg.
- Place the prepared brie (wrapped or unwrapped) on a parchment-lined baking sheet or ovenproof dish.
- Bake unwrapped brie for 15-20 minutes until soft and melty; bake pastry-wrapped brie for 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden and puffed.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to set slightly.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired, alongside crackers, baguette slices, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Keep an eye on the brie toward the end of baking to avoid overheating. Let the baked brie rest for 5 minutes before serving to prevent it from running. You can customize with different jams, nuts, or herbs. For a gluten-free option, skip the puff pastry and serve with gluten-free crackers or sliced apple.
