Instructions
Creating Baked Stuffed Brie with Cranberries and Walnuts is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare The Cheese: Place the wheel of brie in the center of a prepared baking sheet.
3. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine cranberries, chopped walnuts, honey, brown sugar, and optional herbs. Mix well until combined.
4. Stuff The Brie: Carefully cut the top rind of the brie, if desired, and spoon the cranberry-walnut mixture on top of the cheese.
5. Wrap The Brie: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Place the stuffed brie in the center and fold the pastry over to cover it, trimming any excess.
6. Seal Edges: Press the edges to seal securely. Optionally, to add decoration, use remaining pastry to cut out shapes and place them on top.
7. Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry to achieve a golden color when baking.
8. Bake: Place the wrapped brie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
These steps will help ensure that your Baked Stuffed Brie turns out perfectly each time.
