Brie in Puff Pastry

Brie in Puff Pastry is a wonderful, easy and impressive appetizer. This French classic is a true delight. Serve with buttery or multi-grain crackers. Another option would be to serve creamy Brie on slices of garlic toast, which is my favorite way to eat this classic appetizer.

New Twist

Brie in puff pastry has a new twist. First roll out a sheet of puff pastry large enough to totally contain the Brie. Using a fork, prick the entire top surface of the wedge of cheese. Slowly spoon one tablespoon of hot sauce over the surface. Let stand about 5 minutes to allow the sauce to sink in. Slowly spoon remaining sauce over surface and prick surface again. Enclose the cheese in the puff pastry and bake. What you will have is a creamy, spicy and delicious appetizer. Don’t forget to serve the crunchy puff pastry along with the cheese.

Made With

This recipe was made with President CheeseTabasco Sauce and Pepperidge Farm Pastry Sheets. We like to serve Brie in Puff Pastry on a sturdy stone ground cracker. For this recipe, serve the gooey, peppery brie on multi-grain crackers from Brenton Multi-Grain Crackers. Garlic toasts can be purchased in most grocery store bakery departments or you can certainly make your own. For a quick dessert idea, try this recipe for Cookies n Cream Cereal Treats

Cheese

Brie Cheese is acclaimed as one of the world’s great cheeses. 🇫🇷 France’s Brie is characterized by an edible, downy white rind and a cream-colored, buttery-soft interior that should “ooze” when at the peak of this ripeness. Cheese from 🇫🇷 France is considered the best brie cheese made. It’s been my experience that this strong cheese is one you either love or you don’t. People who aren’t fans will say it smells and tastes similar to old, moldy gym socks. Therefore, fans of this cheese, love it for its strong flavor and creaminess.
