Notes

To make cutting the brie easier, 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. Homemade cranberry sauce is one of the favorites during holidays.
To keep the brie from leaking you need to brush each fold you make with the pastry dough with egg, egg acts as glue for your pastry dough.
I highly advise you to let it cool for at least 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.
Serve with: sliced fruits such as apples, pears,.. and crackers or toasted slices of Italian or french bread.
