Wrapped Halloween Brie
This baked brie wrapped in puff pastry gets a Halloween twist with strips of dough arranged to look like mummy bandages. The result is golden, flaky, and just spooky enough to fit the theme without any fussy decorations. Serve it warm with crackers, bread, or crudités to scoop up the melted cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 round brie (225-250 g)
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed 15 minutes
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 candy eyes
- sliced green and red apples
- sliced ripe pear
- sliced baguette
- crackers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out puff pastry and cut it into thin strips, about half an inch wide.
- Wrap the brie with the pastry strips to create a mummy-like effect. Tuck the ends underneath to hold everything in place.
- Brush the entire wrapped brie with egg wash.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake until puffed and golden, about twenty minutes.
- Add candy eyes somewhere on top that makes it look like a mummy and gently press in between the puff pastry.
- Let cool for five to ten minutes before serving.
Notes
Extra candy eyes can be used on a variety of things. If you have kids or even big kids, put them on bananas, oranges, apples or juice boxes. Sneak them onto dinner plates, add them to a bowl of oatmeal, yogurt or cereal to break up the breakfast routine, or even deviled eggs, stuffed mushrooms, hotdogs or pizzas.
