BRIE EN CROUTE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk egg and water together to make egg wash.
• Roll out puff pastry gently to a 14-inch square. Trim corners with a knife or pizza cutter to make a circle. Spread apricot preserves over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch margin around the edge. Sprinkle cranberries and almonds over the pastry, and place Brie cheese in the center.
• Brush the edges of the pastry with some of the egg wash. Fold top and bottom of pastry over the dough; trim 2 inches off each edge. Fold remaining pastry on top to cover the Brie cheese completely. Press the seams with your fingers to seal. Remove any excess apricot preserves that leaks out.
• Transfer wrapped cheese, seam-side down, to baking sheet. Brush top with egg wash.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let stand before serving, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• 1) Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. 2) On a lightly floured board, roll out the puff pastry just a little so that it can fit the wheel of brie nicely and it will cover it from all angles. 3) In a small bowl, add the honey, pecans and cranberries, mix them together to mix. 4) Place the cranberry mixture in the center of the puff pastry and flatten it so it's one layer. 5) Sit the cheese on top of the cranberry mixture, brush all the edges with the egg wash and fold in the sides to close up the brie in the puff pastry. 6) Place it upside down (so that the bottom layer is now the top layer) so it?s seam side down on a non stick baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until puffed and golden. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
