Ingredients

  • 1/2 (17.3-oz.) pkg. fdf
  • 1 (8-oz.) Brie cheese round
  • 1/4 cup sweet or hot pepper jelly
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • Crackers, for serving
  • Apple slices, for serving

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare oven and baking sheet: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Prepare puff pastry: Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface to an 11-inch square (about 1/8-inch-thick), discarding any extra pastry. Place pastry square on prepared baking sheet, and set wheel of Brie (rind still on) in middle of pastry. Spread jelly evenly over top of Brie.

  3. 3

    Close pastry around Brie: Fold one edge of pastry over top of Brie, and brush folded section of pastry with egg. Working in a circle, continue folding pleats of dough over Brie, brushing with egg after each fold, and pressing gently to adhere, until all pastry is wrapped around Brie. Lightly score top of dough around edges of dough round at about 1-inch intervals, being careful not to cut all the way through dough.

  4. 4

    Bake Brie wheel: Bake in preheated oven until golden brown all over and pastry is cooked through, about 35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Serve with crackers and apple slices.
