Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry - thawed
8 oz. brie - we use double cream brie
1/2 cup preserves - any flavor
egg wash - one egg plus a splash of water
assorted breads, crackers, and fruit - to serve

Instructions

Prep for baking. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add a sheet of parchment paper to a sheet pan.
Prep puff pastry. Lay one sheet of puff pastry out to thaw, about 30 minutes. When thawed, lay it flat on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out just slightly.

Wrap the brie. Wrap the puff pastry around the brie by lifting one side over the top and continue with remaining edges. As you wrap it, brush each section of puff pastry with egg wash. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. See below.

Notes

You can assemble the puff pastry appetizer ahead of time (add the egg wash later) and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
Leftover brie and jam puff pastry can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
