Baked Brie With Jam

This easy recipe for baked Brie with jam is the perfect sweet and savory holiday appetizer!

We are coming down the Christmas home stretch here, and I’m guessing you already have your holiday main course figured out. (And if you haven’t, these red wine short ribs might be the answer!)

I tend to leave the appetizer selection to the last second. I always know the Southern daughter will whip up her famous Christmas Tree Fruit and Cheese Platter, but I like to have a couple of choices, and ideally ones that are simple to throw together at this cheery time of year when there are still one million things to do and lots of interruptions.

Adorable as they may be!

So with all that in mind, may I present Baked Brie With Jam!

It’s exactly what you think it is…a round of creamy, dreamy Brie cheese, spread with jam and tucked into a covering of puff pastry and baked until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melty.

It’s a sweet and savory spin on an old favorite!

What jam goes with baked Brie?

Happily, pretty much any kind you like! We love the Tiptree raspberry preserves, but strawberry, apricot, blueberry…they all work perfectly.

And while you can serve it up with crackers, the puff pastry covering serves as its own kind of cracker. It’s the holiday appetizer that keeps on giving!

Here’s how you make baked Brie with jam!

Preheat the oven to 400 and line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.

Using your sharpest knife, trim the white rind off an eight ounce round of Brie and toss it out.

Find that rolling pin I know you have somewhere and roll a thawed piece of puff pastry until it is about 1/8th inch thick.  Put the cheese in the center of the dough.

Spread a quarter cup of your favorite jam over the top of the cheese.

Now bring the sides of the dough over the top of the cheese so that it is covered, and tuck the ends under so the cheese is completely covered.  If you have too much dough, trim it so that it fits.  Place the dough covered Brie on the baking sheet.

Brush a beaten egg on to the top and sides of the pastry, and bake for 40 minutes until the pastry is nice and golden brown. Don’t worry if the pastry comes loose here and there – it adds to the prettiness!

Cool your beautiful baked Brie for about 10 minutes and then serve.  You can offer crackers or sliced bread with it, but the pastry might be all you need!

    Now you’re talking my language! We use fig jam here unless I have saved some of the cranberry port compote from thanksgiving to use. And a few chopped pecans, just for fun. 😁 I’m ready with the wine!

      Ah, fig jam! One of my old faves! And of course pecans would be a huge hit with the Southern husband! xo
