Wrapped Halloween Brie

A wheel of brie wrapped in puff pastry is already a crowd-pleaser but wrapping it like a creepy mummy takes it straight into Halloween territory.

The strips of dough crisp up beautifully in the oven, creating a golden, flaky exterior that gives way to warm, molten cheese. It’s an easy centerpiece for any spooky gathering that looks impressive but comes together in minutes.

Brie and puff pastry are a classic pairing, and this Halloween-inspired version keeps it simple, savoury and fun. Wrapped to resemble something between a bandaged monster and a zombie, it turns a familiar appetizer into a conversation piece with barely any extra effort.

The appeal is in the restraint: buttery puff pastry and creamy brie need little else to shine. A few strategic cuts and a light egg wash are enough to transform the dish into something seasonal without veering into gimmick territory. It’s an easy addition to a Halloween menu that feels considered rather than kitschy, whether you’re setting out a proper appetizer spread or just want something warm and satisfying to serve before the doorbell starts ringing.

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.
