This Brie En Croute combines creamy Brie and sweet jam in a golden, flaky puff pastry, creating an irresistible appetizer perfect for any gathering. Simple to prepare with minimal ingredients, it's an elegant, crowd-pleasing dish that can be made ahead for easy entertaining.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Thaw the puff pastry for 15 minutes until it’s easy to unfold. Place the Brie round (rind on) in the center of the unfolded pastry. Spread your favorite jam generously on top of the Brie.
Gently bring the pastry edges up over the Brie, sealing it by pinching the dough at the top. Optional: Use a cookie cutter to create decorative shapes from excess pastry and arrange them on top.
Brush the pastry with a beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm with crackers and fresh fruit.
