How to Make Baked Brie En Croute
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Defrost one sheet (14.1 oz) of puff pastry for 15-20 minutes at room temperature; unfold.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup walnuts to the melted butter and sauté for 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon until walnuts are evenly coated.
- Carefully slice off only the very top layer of rind from a round 8-ounce wheel of brie.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of your favorite fruit preserve (apricot or strawberry recommended) over the brie.
- Top the brie with the walnut mixture and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Place the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
- Center the brie on the pastry.
- Bring the edges of the pastry up and over the brie, pleating as needed to completely enclose it.
- Gently pinch and crimp the edges to seal, then tie the top with kitchen twine.
- Brush the entire pastry with 1 beaten large egg.
- Place the brie en croute on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the brie is melted and bubbly.
