Ingredients Needed
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 8 oz (225g) Brie round (rind optional)
- 2 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
- 2 Tbsp fresh basil, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup (60ml) peach jam
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
How T Make Puff Pastry Brie Bacon
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare puff pastry: Lay the pastry sheet flat on a clean surface.
- Add Brie: Place the Brie round in the centre. You can leave the rind on or remove it, based on preference.
- Add toppings: Spread the peach jam over the Brie. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and fresh basil.
- Wrap pastry: Fold the edges of the pastry up over the cheese, tucking as you go to seal well.
- Egg wash: Brush the entire surface with the beaten egg.
- Bake: Place the wrapped Brie on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Recipe Tips
- Use cold puff pastry: Keep the pastry cold before baking so it puffs up nicely and stays flaky.
- Don’t skip the egg wash: It helps the pastry turn golden and shiny—don’t forget the sides too!
- Cook bacon until crispy: Soft bacon will turn soggy inside the pastry, so make sure it’s well-cooked.
- Seal the edges well: Press the dough tightly around the Brie to stop cheese from leaking out.
- Let it rest before cutting: Wait 5–10 minutes after baking so the cheese doesn’t spill everywhere when sliced.
How To Store And Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover puff pastry Brie cool until it reaches room temperature. Then place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Place the Brie on a baking sheet and heat for 10–15 minutes until the pastry is warm and the cheese is soft again.
