Description
If you’re looking for a show-stopping appetizer that combines elegance and irresistible flavors, then look no further than Sausage Baked Brie. This dish transforms a simple wheel of brie cheese into a luxurious culinary experience, enveloped in flaky puff pastry and enriched by the savory notes of cooked sausage.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 wheel of brie cheese (8 oz)
- 1/2 cup cooked ground sausage
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme (optional)
- 1 tsp honey or fig jam (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper which will help keep your pastry from sticking and ensure an easy cleanup.
- On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out your puff pastry sheet to eliminate any creases and create an even surface. Place the wheel of brie cheese in the center of the pastry.
- Top the brie cheese with the cooked sausage, spreading it evenly. For an additional burst of flavor, sprinkle some fresh thyme or drizzle a bit of honey or fig jam over the sausage.
- Carefully fold the edges of the puff pastry over the brie, ensuring that the cheese is completely covered. Trim any excess pastry and press to seal the edges. Flip the wrapped brie cheese so that the sealed side rests on the baking sheet.
- Brush the pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden finish once baked. Place the prepared brie in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and has puffed. Allow the Sausage Baked Brie to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure your puff pastry is adequately thawed; too cold and it won’t fold easily.
