Preparation

  • Fold the pastry around the Brie, sealing the edges carefully to prevent leaks, and flip it seam side down.
  • Score the top of the pastry with a crisscross pattern and brush it with egg wash.

Baking

Notes

Let the filling cool completely before assembling to avoid a soggy pastry. If using frozen puff pastry, ensure it is fully thawed and pliable for easy wrapping. For healthier variations, consider reduced-fat Brie or adding nuts to the filling.
