Don’t you just love Brie? So easy and quick, yet looks and tastes like you spent hours! And this recipe might be one of my favorites.
I changed the recipe a bit from the original but the ingredients are listed below with my little tweaks beside them….
Ingredients:
-1 large sheet of puff pastry dough or 1 tube of refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (I used two puff pastry sheets in order to make the cut out hearts on top but you could probably get away with just one)
-1 round or wedge of Brie cheese (do not remove rind)
-2 tablespoons raspberry jam or other sweet jam ( I may have used a little more)
-1 tablespoon brown sugar (I used Swerve brown)
-1/4 cup of maple syrup (I didnt use the entire 1/4 cup, just a heavy drizzle)
-small heart-shaped cookie cutter
-fresh raspberries for garnish
-a pretty dish to serve it in! (Make sure it’s oven safe)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Slice the top off the Brie. I started with chilled Brie and sliced a very thin piece off of the top. This may help the crust stay with the cheese when served. The rind is edible so you can skip this step if you want to.
Grab a pretty serving dish (make sure it’s oven safe!) and evenly lay your puff pastry sheet in the bottom. Place the Brie on top of the pastry.
Spread jam on the top of the Brie and then fold dough over the top. Cut off any excess dough. This is where you could probably get away with using just one sheet of pastry dough if you rolled out the excess to cut your hearts.
Roll out your excess dough or grab your 2nd puff pastry roll and lay out flat to cut hearts. Make sure the dough you are using has come straight from the fridge….it will be so much easier to cut! Using your heart-shapes cookie cutter, cut out as many hearts as you want to top your Brie with. Lay the hearts on top of the Brie in any fashion you’d like.
Sprinkle with brown sugar and drizzle with the maple syrup.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Pastry should be golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes and top with fresh raspberries before serving.
Ya’ll, this dish was amazing. You could serve with crackers or apple slices if you’d like but honestly it was so darn good by itself! Bubbling melted cheese and raspberry jam….oh my! In fact, I gotta go….I have some leftovers in the fridge and they are calling my name!
