Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the puff pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Place the Brie wheel in the center.
Add the filling: Spread the fruit preserves on top of the Brie and sprinkle with chopped nuts (if using).
Wrap the Brie: Fold the puff pastry over the Brie, sealing the edges. Trim any excess pastry if needed. Press the edges gently to ensure it’s fully enclosed.
Brush with egg wash: Brush the outside of the pastry with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
Bake: Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Cool & serve: Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve warm with crackers, bread, or fruit.

Notes

Use puff pastry scraps to cut decorative shapes and place them on top before baking.
For a savory twist, add garlic, rosemary, or caramelized onions inside.
If using frozen Brie, let it thaw slightly before baking to ensure a gooey center.
