Ingredients for Baked brie
Quality of brie cheese matters! I always recommend using a brie cheese that is French- brie cheese originated in France so if it is French you know it’s creamy, has notes of mushroom and will melt really well! When melted, the cheaper brie cheeses can often pool with oil which means they aren’t the best quality and stuffed with fillers & additives. When making baked brie, spend a little bit more on the cheese to make sure it’s a quality one.

- Add fig jam on top of your brie
- Wrap your brie up in the prosciutto and add an extra slice on top of the fig jam to hold it all together
- Wrap like a cheese present in the puff pastry (I cut off A BIT of the extra puff pastry as I wrap it)
- Add egg wash to the outside of the puff pastry to make it crispy in the oven
- Cut a few shallow slits on top of the puff pastry to allow it to cook well inside
- Place in the oven for 25 minutes or until the outside of the pastry is golden brown
- Serve with crackers or a baguette and enjoy warm!
Notes
You can prepare this in advance and then bake it fresh just before people come over. It is beat served out of the oven warm!
Add on egg wash (a beaten egg) to make sure the puff pastry gets golden brown when baked in the oven
