Description

A warm, gooey baked brie wrapped in flaky puff pastry, topped with sweet and spicy cranberry-pepper jelly and crunchy pecans. Perfect for holiday entertaining or a cozy appetizer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 (8-ounce) wheel Brie cheese
  • 1/4 cup cranberry-pepper jelly (or cranberry sauce + pinch red pepper flakes)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a 12-inch square.
  3. Place Brie in the center of the pastry. Spread cranberry-pepper jelly on top of the Brie, then sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  4. Fold the pastry corners up and over the Brie, pinching seams to seal completely. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush the pastry with beaten egg. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until pastry is golden and puffed. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If you can’t find cranberry-pepper jelly, mix 1/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce with 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. For a sweeter version, use fig jam instead of the jelly.
