The holiday season means hanging out with family. In this video, I will show you how to make an Easy Holiday Appetizer, a brie en croute recipe. We are going to bake brie in a puff pastry.

Brie En Croute Frequently Asked Question:

Do you take the rind off of brie cheese before baking?

A note about the rind: I did not trim the rind off before baking. It is completely edible, and you don’t notice it much after your brie is cooked. When I’m eating brie unbaked, I sometimes cut off the rind simply because I don’t enjoy it.

How do you eat brie en croute?

Brush the outside of the brie en croute with egg wash.

Add your preferred jam and nuts.

Wrap the brie en croute in a puff pastry.

Bake: Cook for 25-30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Cool and serve: Move brie en croute to a clean work surface or serving dish and allow to cool down for 5-10 minutes. Serve with fruit party crackers and artisanal bread.

Can you reheat brie en croute?

Heating Leftover Brie En Croute.  If you have leftovers, you can loosely cover it in aluminum foil and heat it in a 350 ° F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes until the brie is drippy again and the puff pastry is hot.
