Recipe Notes

• I like fig preserves, but you can use anything, from strawberry to blueberry to pear to raspberry. You could also drizzle the brie with honey before baking.

• You can leave the rind on the cheese or remove it. 

Here's how to make it: 

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the cold puff pastry on a lightly floured counter and roll out the pastry to allow plenty of room to fold over onto your brie wheel. (If you have a smaller wheel you may not need to roll at all.)
2. Place the brie in the center of the dough. Brush the top of the brie with the preserves or honey.
3. Fold the pastry over on top and trim any excess.
4. Brush the dough with the beaten egg.
5. Put the wrapped brie onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven until golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving with crackers. Enjoy!
