Baked Brie in Puff Pastry

Baked brie wrapped in puff pastry is the king of all brie, for my part. Don’t fear, we aren’t making puff pastry from scratch. I purchase frozen puff pastry, it’s a lifesaver!

You will have to thaw the puff pastry earlier than you wrap the wheel of brie, so be sure you take the puff pastry out of the freezer 30 to 40 minutes earlier than you get began.

When the brie is hugged by puff pastry and baked, magic occurs. The puff pastry will get golden brown and buttery and the brie will get melty and oooh so creamy. I like to cover maple, pecans, cinnamon, and brown sugar inside for a candy shock. This puff pastry brie is PERFECTION!
