Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 wheel Brie cheese
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1 each egg (for egg wash)
- to taste Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
- to taste Red food coloring (optional, for effect)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry and place the Brie in the center.
- Spread cranberry sauce over the top of the Brie.
- Fold the pastry around the Brie, sealing it well.
- Brush the pastry with egg wash.
Baking
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- If desired, use red food coloring to drizzle 'blood' over the top before serving.
Serving
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
Notes
Make sure to seal the puff pastry well around the cheese to prevent leaking. Let the Brie sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking; it melts better that way. Feel free to add chopped nuts or additional herbs inside the pastry for extra flavor. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through.
