mummy-wrapped baked brie - featured image

A quick and easy party appetizer featuring a small wheel of brie wrapped in puff pastry like a mummy, layered with raspberry jam and fresh rosemary for a crispy, gooey, and flavorful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small wheel brie cheese (about 8 ounces / 225 grams), room temperature
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam, preferably seedless
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Flour, for dusting the work surface

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly flour your countertop or board to keep the puff pastry from sticking.
  3. Using a rolling pin, gently roll the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases and slightly enlarge it to about 10×10 inches (25×25 cm).
  4. Place the brie wheel in the center of the puff pastry.
  5. Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the top of the brie, then sprinkle the chopped rosemary on top of the jam.
  6. Cut the puff pastry into thin strips about ½ inch (1.3 cm) wide.
  7. Wrap the brie with the puff pastry strips, crisscrossing them over the cheese like mummy bandages, leaving a small gap to peek through like mummy eyes. Tuck the ends underneath to secure.
  8. Beat the egg in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to lightly coat the puff pastry with egg wash.
  9. Place the wrapped brie on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If the pastry browns too fast, tent loosely with foil mid-bake. Chill the brie with jam for 15 minutes before wrapping to prevent leaking. Use a lighter baking sheet for even baking. Let the baked brie rest for 5 minutes before slicing to avoid messy cheese flow. For gluten-free, use gluten-free puff pastry or almond flour. Vegan alternatives include vegan brie and dairy-free puff pastry.
