Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set it aside.

Using a rolling pin, roll the sheet of puff pastry into an 11×11-inch square. (Don't worry if it's not perfect, you just want it to be large enough to cover the brie completely.) If the pastry is sticking, dust the surface with a little all purpose flour.

Place the wheel of brie in the center of the puff pastry square. Spread the preserves on top of the brie.

Fold the puff pastry corners around the brie, sealing the pastry very well so it doesn't pop open in the oven. Use your hands to press the edges to make it look a little neater. (It doesn't have to be perfect, this app is supposed to be rustic.) If the puff pastry has warmed up, pop the brie in the fridge for 10-30 minutes until it's nice and cold. Cold pastry is key to flaky layers!

If you want a shiny crust, whisk an egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash on the outside of the pastry, getting it into all the nooks and crannies.

Bake the brie for 35-40 minutes, until the pastry is deep golden-brown. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes so the cheese has a little bit of time to set up. Serve the baked brie with apples, grapes, crackers, bread, or anything else you like.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Thaw Puff Pastry Properly ❄️
Thaw puff pastry in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes before using—this prevents shrinkage and ensures even, golden browning in the oven.
Chill Before Baking 🧊
Refrigerate assembled pastries for at least 15 minutes before baking to help the puff pastry rise dramatically and prevent the cheese from leaking out.
Balance Jam-to-Cheese Ratio 🎯
Use approximately 1 tablespoon of jam per 2-ounce piece of brie—too much jam causes overflow, while too little creates an unbalanced flavor profile.
Brush with Egg Wash for Golden Color 🥚
Whisk one egg with a splash of water and brush generously over the pastry before baking for a professional, glossy golden-brown finish.
Pair Jam Strategically 🍓
Choose jams with slight acidity or spice (fig, apricot, or hot pepper) to cut through the richness of brie and enhance complexity.
