Ingredients
- 8 oz Brie 8 oz round. I like the double creamy.
- 2 tablespoon raspberry jam or 2 tablespoon canned whole cranberries
- 1 can crescent roll dough most common is Pillsbury
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 medium apple thin slices
- baguette slices optional
- crackers optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Separate dough into one square section. Press the seams together.
- Place your choice of preserves onto the dough, in a circle that the round brie will be placed on top of.
- Once brie cheese round is fully wrapped and, flip it onto a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Using the dough that has been set aside, find a seasonal cookie cutter and make a cute cutout to place on your wrapped brie.
- Brush beaten egg over your wrapped brie so it will bake to a golden brown in the oven.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes until it looks golden brown. Carefully remove from cookie sheet and place onto a serving plate. It's obviously very hot at this point. Let it cool for approx. 10 minutes, then cut in and scoop the melted cheese onto your crackers or apple slices. The cheese is soft and runny. I put a small cheese knife or a spoon to help people scoop melted cheese onto cracker slices.
- This appetizer is best when eaten while cheese is still warm and melty.
Notes
Yes you can use different preserves. Seedless raspberry is the traditional but I LOVE using canned whole cranberries during the fall and winter. Honey drizzled on the brie with pecans is also wonderful!
Yes, it is perfectly fine to eat the white rind. Some people don't like it but may do!
I prefer to warm this up in the oven. The cheese gets very gooey and runny quickly. In the microwave, it happens very quickly - just do a few seconds at a time if using.
