You will need only four ingredients to make this this easy, impressive appetizer. Puff pastry spread with fig jam, topped with a wheel of brie and wrapped up with an egg wash on top. This one is simple to make, but it’s amazing in taste. Serve it with firm crackers or baguette slices, and there won’t be a speck left.
Ingredients needed:
one sheet of Puff Pastry one small round of brie egg fig jam
How to make Baked Brie with Fig Jam:
Lay the Puff Pastry on a work surface (a cutting board works great). Spread fig jam in a circle in the middle of the Puff Pastry. Lay a small round of brie on top of the jam. Wrap the pastry around the brie, and twist the top. Set the wrapped brie in an oven-proof baking dish (a pie pan works great). Brush the wrapped brie with egg wash.
Bake for 20 minutes at a higher temperature. Then reduce the temperature and continue to bake until the brie has softened.
The pastry will be golden brown and flaky. The cheese inside will be warm and melted.
When you cut open the baked brie, the melted cheese will ooze out. And it will be combined with the fig jam, which makes it even more amazing than brie all by itself! Serve with crackers and/or baguette slices. Enjoy!
