Create an elegant cheese appetizer quickly with this baked brie wrapped in puff pastry, topped with sweet fig jam and crunchy walnuts. This is the best appetizer for parties and disappears fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 (8 ounce) wheel of brie cheese, cold
  • 1/4 cup fig jam
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into a square large enough to fully enclose the brie wheel.
  3. Place the cold brie wheel in the center of the pastry square.
  4. Spread the fig jam evenly over the top surface of the brie wheel.
  5. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the jam.
  6. Carefully fold the edges of the puff pastry up and over the brie, sealing the edges tightly to completely encase the cheese. Trim any excess pastry.
  7. Place the wrapped brie, seam-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the entire surface of the pastry with the beaten egg wash. This helps it brown nicely.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with crackers or sliced baguette.

Notes

  • For a festive holiday baked brie, substitute fig jam with cranberry sauce.
  • If you do not have puff pastry, you can make this warm cheese dip by placing the brie in a small oven-safe dish and topping it directly with jam and nuts.
  • Serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and melted.
