📋 Ingredient Notes

I've noticed that many of you like recipes with puff pastry so I've used it in this recipe. You can also wrap the brie in buttered phyllo dough.
For the brie, I've used an 8oz wheel but you can use up to 12oz.
You can use whatever jam or preserve you like but raspberry is my favorite. More on that in the tips sections below.

🥄 Instructions

Roll out the thawed puff pastry a bit with a rolling pin. Cut Brie in half with a sharp knife, place cheese in the center of the puff pastry and top with jam.
Add chopped pecan on top.
Top that with the other cheese half.

Fold one corner of the puff pastry over the cheese as shown above.
Now wrap the puff pastry on top of the brie brushing with egg wash after each fold as shown on images 5 and 6.
Place brie in the center of the cookie sheet and bake until golden brown.

💡 Tips

To make it easier to cut the brie it is better to freeze it for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up a bit.
In my opinion the more preserve the better so do not hold back if this is your thing too. I like using raspberry jam but you can also use fig jam, apricot jam or cranberry jam as well.
To keep the brie from leaking you need to brush each fold you make with the pastry dough with egg wash, egg acts as glue for your pastry dough.
Lining your baking pan with parchment paper- before putting the brie down helps reduce residue on the pan.
I highly advise you to let it cool for a 5-10 minutes before serving it. This gives the melted cheese just a little time to firm up — it will still be gooey and scoop-able, but no longer molten lava burning mouths.
Make ahead tip: Prepare this dish then refrigerate for up to one day. Bake right before serving.

🧺 Storage

Store leftover brie in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
