    Baked Puff Pastry Wrapped Brie w- Fig Jam

    I always have the hardest time coming up with easy appetizers (that isn’t a cheese board). I don’t know why this is such a challenge for me? I think it’s because I want it to feel homemade, but I don’t want to spend a lot time making it. My focus is always on the main course, so the apps should always be easy.

    Can we talk about how easy and delicious this ooey gooey cheesy baked brie appetizer is?

    It’s also so pretty and perfect on it’s own, and such a crowd pleaser! Your guests will think you spent way more time on it than you really did. Isn’t that the point? ????

    Let’s go over the steps.

    1) Thaw out your frozen puff pastry and roll it onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

    2) Generously spread the fig jam on the puff pastry then place your wheel of brie in the center. Spread more jam on the cheese and sprinkle the whole thing with flakey sea salt.

    3) Wrap that puppy up, brush with egg wash and bake to golden perfection.

    That buttery flakey crust literally has me drooling ????. Serve it alongside some delicious crackers and call it a day.

    Your holiday appetizer game just become so strong. ????

        You can definitely use fig jam or any other type of jam

      Do you prep the brie first, or place it as is into the pastry??

      This is very good but the recipe has a major flaw- it should tell you to fliour a rolling pin and roll the sheet pressing it out to make it much larger first before putting cheese & fig on and tying it up! If you don’t, it’s not large enough and dough too thick.

        Hi Laurel! I did not need to do this when I made it! My puff pastry was plenty large and thin!

      This was delicious and so easy! Made it for a birthday party and the guests loved it. Had a hard time finding the Fig jam at Trader Joe’s so I used cranberry sauce which was a great substitute!

      I made brie en croute last week, but it doesn’t look as nice as yours!! Where and what brand fig jam do you use?

      P.S. I work with your mom! She just told me about your blog and I LOVE IT!! 😉
