4 ingredient brie

4 things:

  1. 1 sheet of puff pastry dough (you’ll find this by the frozen pies)

  2. 1 cylinder of brie

  3. 2 Tbs of ghost pepper jelly (or really any kind of hot/spicy jelly)

  4. 1 handful of fruit (blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, mango, peaches, you get it)

whatcha do:

  • The day you plan on whipping this up, take one sheet of puff pastry from the freezer and defrost in the fridge for the day.

  • When the time has come: pre-heat the oven to 350

  • unfold the dough on your clean counter or chopping board, using a rolling pin roll out the dough a bit so that it’d ~12x12, with a sharp knife trim a 1 inch strip of dough from 3 of the 4 sides (this is for decorating).

  • unwrap your brie from its box, take a sharp knife and slice off the wax top from either the top or bottom, and then place your brie, cut side up, in the middle of your puff pastry

  • if you’re using a large piece of fruit (i.e. a peach), nows the time to slice it into little chunks; if you’re using berries, you don’t necessarily have to chop them up but you can if you want

  • place your desired fruit on top of your brie, then spoon on your pepper jelly

  • lookin good so far? yes I know it is

  • okay now start folding up your brie with your puff pastry so it looks like a perfect little package

  • if you chose to cut some strips from your dough you can now get crafty, I wove mine (you can kind tell from the picture. for those of you that are egg eaters, I suggest you brush your brie ball with egg (this will get it looking golden in the oven)

  • finally!!! pop it in the oven for ~35 minutes
