This delightful appetizer promises sophistication with minimal effort, making it ideal for any gathering. By wrapping Brie in puff pastry and baking it into melty perfection, you can create one of the simplest yet tastiest appetizers. SSP prepared.
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed as per package instructions)
- 8-to-12-ounce Brie cheese (wheel or wedge; keep the rind on
- 2 tablespoons raspberry jam or preferred sweet jam
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or other preferred liquids (e.g. honey)
Preparation Technique:
1. Preheat and Preparations: Set oven to 350°F (or 400°F as an alternative method) and get a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or use a pie plate for baking.
2. Prepare the Brie: Consider trimming the top layer of the cheese rind for easier serving; this is optional since the rind is edible.
3. Arranging the Ingredients: Lay out the puff pastry on a floured board, rolling it slightly as needed. Place Brie on the pastry and spread jam on its top. If desired, sprinkle brown sugar and drizzle with syrup.
4. Wrap and Bake: Fold pastry over Brie to fully encase it, sealing edges. Brush the pastry with a beaten egg or an egg wash to enhance browning. Bake until the pastry turns golden brown, approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
5. Serve: Allow brie to cool for 5 to 10 minutes to set the cheese. Serve with accompaniments like crackers or apple slices while still warm.
Indulge others with this delectable delight by letting the vibrant Brie spill out while accompanied by crispy bread or fruit slices.
