Ingredients
Scale
- 1 wheel of brie (8–12 ounces)
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/3 cup raspberry jam
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- Optional: 2 candy eyes
- Optional: flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take the brie out of the fridge about 15 minutes before starting to let it slightly soften.
- Unroll the crescent dough onto a cutting board. If perforated, press seams together. Cut into 8-10 long strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
- Spread the raspberry jam on top of the brie wheel, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge.
- Place the jam-topped brie in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Wrap the dough strips around the brie like bandages, overlapping slightly, and tuck the ends underneath. Leave a small gap near the top for candy eyes if using.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash generously over all exposed dough.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the dough is deeply golden brown and puffed, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let rest for 5 minutes after baking.
- Add candy eyes right before serving, pressing gently into the exposed cheese or dough. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Transfer to a serving board and serve with crackers, sliced baguette, apple slices, or pretzel chips.
Notes
For best results, serve immediately after the 5-minute rest. The dough starts to soften as it sits. If the dough browns too fast, tent loosely with foil. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, but the dough won’t be as crispy.
