For an extra touch of elegance, score the top of the pastry with a sharp knife before baking. Serve with an assortment of crackers, baguette slices, or apple wedges for dipping. Feel free to experiment with different preserves and nuts to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Fig jam and walnuts are a delightful alternative. Ensure the puff pastry is thoroughly thawed but still cold for best results.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl to create an egg wash. Set aside. (2 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the thawed puff pastry to a 14-inch square. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, trim the corners to form a circle. (5 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Spread the apricot preserves evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle the dried cranberries and sliced almonds over the preserves. Place the Brie cheese wheel in the center of the pastry. (5 minutes)
05
Step
10 mins
Brush the edges of the pastry with the prepared egg wash. Carefully fold the top and bottom edges of the pastry over the Brie. Trim about 2 inches off each side edge, then fold the remaining pastry over the top to completely enclose the Brie. Press the seams firmly with your fingers to seal, ensuring no apricot preserves leak out. (10 minutes)
06
Step
3 mins
Carefully transfer the wrapped Brie, seam-side down, to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of the pastry generously with the remaining egg wash to promote a golden-brown crust. (3 minutes)
07
Step
20 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed and golden brown. (20 minutes)
08
Step
30 mins
Remove from oven and let stand for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the Brie to soften and the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)
