ingredients for baked brie in puff pastry.

What is brie?

Brie is a soft cheese made from cow’s milk. It got its name from the French region of…Brie! (surprise!)

It always comes with a rubber-like white rind around the entire exterior of the cheese. The rind on the brie is edible – lots of people enjoy the flavor and texture. If you’re not one of them (no judgment here), throwing out the rind is totally acceptable!

What is brie en croute?

Let’s learn a little French! Brie en croute translates to brie in a crust. This baked brie in puff pastry is literally brie cheese baked into a buttery, puff pastry crust.

My recipe is a tad different from others – I used puff pastry and then stuck my rectangular bites on popsicle sticks. This made them a lot easier to serve at parties – and more fun, of course!

What is puff pastry?

The secret to puff pastry and what sets it apart from other types of crusts is all about the butter. It’s made by layering butter and dough over and over until there are flaky layers that are easy to handle.

I personally love baking with puff pastry! I used it once to make an incredible ham and cheese pie, and you won’t believe how one slice just melts in your mouth.

How to make baked brie in puff pastry with jam

These bite-sized treats all come together with puff pastry.

It’s buttery. Flaky and light… and buttery.

It’s totally buttery.

Follow these tips + instructions, and you’ll make the most memorable (in a good way) baked brie bites ever!

Cut the puff pastry

I cut the sheet of puff pastry into 12 rectangles… then each rectangle in half. That means 24 little rectangles that will make 12 little puffs!

That was math – I’m totally sorry.

Add egg wash

I brush half of the squares with egg wash, a little nibble of cheese (do not be afraid of the brie rind!), a touch of jam, and more puff pastry.

It’s happening!

Seal with a fork

Use a fork to completely seal the sweet little cheese pockets together. That way, you don’t lose any of that delicious filling. That would utterly break my heart.

WARNING: A lot of brie was eaten in the making of these pockets.

Top with egg wash and salt

Egg washed and a sprinkling of salt.

Major magic.

Baked and puffed, and sometimes they bleed jam and cheese. No biggie!

Serving baked brie in puff pastry

These bites are best served warm… but I sure did eat several of them at room temperature. They were still delicious!

It’s warm cheese baked in a buttery crust with a sweet jam. What can go wrong?

For a fun combination of flavors, serve them with some tart lemon poppy seed bars at a party. The sweet jam and tart lemon really complement each other. Don’t forget to mix and pour a glass of cucumber cilantro margarita, and the party is ready to start!

These brie cheese pops are sure to be a hit at your next get-together. Make sure to leave a comment down below and let me know how this recipe turned out!

Description

Little pockets of salty cheese and sweet jam in crisp puff pastry. A perfect and simple appetizer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed but still cold
  • 1/2 wedge of brie (about 4 ounces), cold
  • 1/3 cup cherry jam (or any flavor you fancy!)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • splash of milk
  • coarse sea salt

Instructions

All-butter, store bought puff pastry  usually comes frozen and folded into thirds.  We’re going to use these folded thirds to our advantage.  Cut the puff pastry into thirds along the creases.  Cut each panel into four pieces.  They’ll be 2 1/4-inch tall and 3-inches wide.  One sheet of puff pastry will yield 12 rectangles.  Cut each rectangle in half.  You’ll have 24 little rectangles that will create 12 little rectangle pockets.

Combine beaten egg and splash of milk.  Brush 12 of the small rectangles with egg wash.  If you’d like to make brie bites on sticks, now is the time!  Place a popsicle stick halfway up the puff pastry and press in gently.  Place a small sliver of brie (rind and all) on top of the egg wash (and stick).  Top with about 1/2 teaspoon of cherry jam.  Take another square of puff pastry and press between your fingers to make the rectangle slightly bigger.  Place puff pastry on top of the cheese and jam.  Use a fork to press the edges together.  The egg wash will act as  glue.  Make sure to seal the edges well by crimping with the fork.  Prick the top lightly with a fork.

Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Place prepared brie bites on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Brush with egg wash.  Sprinkle with a touch of coarsely ground sea salt.  Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Brie bites are best served warm, but are also delicious at room temperature.

    They make a nice presentation, but there was no flavor. Even if you add more preserves, it just boils out. Has anyone switched up ingredients to make these more memorable?
