01 Step

Recipe View Prepare the Brie: Using a sharp paring knife, carefully score the Brie around its circumference, cutting through the rind at the equator. Use string or unflavored dental floss. Wrap the string around the scored cut, loop one end over the other to form a half knot, and pull the ends in opposite directions to create two halves. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Stuff the Brie: Place the Brie halves, cut-side up, on a clean work surface. Evenly spread the dried cranberries over one half and the chopped walnuts over the other. Gently press the cranberries and walnuts into the cheese to ensure they adhere. Carefully reassemble the Brie halves, pressing them together to create a stuffed wheel. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Wrap in Puff Pastry: Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the thawed puff pastry to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Place the stuffed Brie in the center of the pastry. Gently lift and pull the edges of the pastry to ensure you have enough to completely enclose the Brie. Trim any excess pastry, leaving about an inch or two of overhang. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Seal and Decorate: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the entire surface of the puff pastry with the egg wash. Fold one edge of the pastry over the Brie, followed by the opposite side. Fold the remaining edges to completely encase the Brie, trimming any excess pastry as needed. Flip the Brie over so the seam is on the bottom. Gently press the sides to snug the dough against the Brie. Brush the top and sides of the wrapped Brie with egg wash. If desired, cut out decorative shapes from the remaining puff pastry and arrange them on top of the Brie. Lightly brush the decorative pieces with egg wash. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Chill: Place the wrapped and decorated Brie in the freezer for 1 hour to help the pastry firm up and prevent the cheese from melting too quickly during baking. (60 minutes)

Recipe View Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake: Place the chilled Brie on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted and leaking slightly (this is normal), approximately 20 to 25 minutes. (25 minutes)

Recipe View Cool Slightly and Serve: Remove the baked Brie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fruit.

For best results, ensure your puff pastry is cold before baking. If it becomes too soft, return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm up.
Feel free to customize the fillings to your liking. Consider using different nuts, dried fruits, or even a drizzle of honey.
The freezing step is crucial to prevent the Brie from melting too quickly and making a mess during baking.
Watch the Brie carefully during baking to prevent the pastry from burning. If it starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
