Instructions

1. Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C. Have ready a large baking tray.
2. Fill cheese – Cut open the brie cheese through the centre. Evenly spread out the jam in the centre. Place the cheese back together.
3. Wrap cheese – Place the cheese wheel in the centre of the puff pastry sheet. Make four cuts from the edges of the pastry to the centre where the cheese is. Fold the pastry into the centre to wrap around the cheese. Cut off excess pastry and set aside.
4. Decorate with pastry strips – Cut strips out of some of the excess pastry and set aside. Arrange the strips over the top to make it look like a mummy. Firmly press the edges of the pastry strips onto the pastry so it doesn’t come apart while baking.
5. Bake – Brush the pastry with the egg wash. Place in the oven and bake between 20 – 25 minutes until puffed and golden.
6. Decorate and serve – Remove from oven and place on a serving platter. Use candy eyes to place on the mummy face to give it a mummy look. Serve with cheese, crackers, olives and any other snacks that you like to decorate your platter.

Recipe Tips

• Use cold puff pastry – When putting this cheese appetizer together, make sure to use cold puff pastry. It’s much easier to work with. Warm puff pastry will be difficult to fold properly.
• Prep ahead – You can prep this appetizer about 8 hours before baking. Just wrap it up and keep it in the fridge before baking. All you will need to do before baking is brush the pastry with the whisked egg.
• Cook just before serving – This is a make and serve appetizer. It’s best to be served as soon as it’s assembled for best results.

Substitutions

• Brie cheese – You could also use Camembert cheese or mini Baby Bell cheese for this recipe.
• Puff pastry – You can use phyllo dough, shortcrust pastry, pizza dough, pie crust or even biscuit dough. All of these will yield slightly different results, but they will work.
• Jam filling – I used raspberry jam but any flavour jam will work for this recipe.
• Flavour changes – You could fill this cheese with Caramelized Onions, chopped pecans or any other chopped nuts that you would like.

Serving

You can serve this Brie cheese wheel however you like at your Halloween get together or before dinner nibbles. I served this one alongside some crackers, grapes and olives with some arugula leaves to decorate the platter. But feel free to take your own spin and flare for a spooktacular appetizer!
