Ingredients
  

  • 1 small wheel of Brie about 6 to 8 inches, chilled
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed, plus extra for design
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon water

Equipment

  • Sharp paring knife
  • String or dental floss
  • Rolling pin
  • Pastry brush
  • Small bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Flat work surface

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients and preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Use a sharp knife to score and slice Brie in half horizontally using string or dental floss.
  3. Place both Brie halves cut-side up. Spread cranberries on one half and walnuts on the other, pressing lightly.
  4. Sandwich the halves together with cranberries on top of walnuts; tuck in any fillings that fall out.
  5. Roll puff pastry on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Place Brie in the center.
  6. Brush edges of pastry with egg wash and wrap Brie completely, trimming extra dough.
  7. Flip seam-side down and brush the top with egg wash. Add decorative pastry cutouts if desired.
  8. Freeze for 1 hour to firm up the pastry.
  9. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and slightly oozing.
  10. Serve warm with apple or pear slices.
