Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.

Deglaze the pan with the wine and continue to cook until the wine has reduced, about 1 minute. Set aside.

- Lay out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and pile the mushrooms in the middle. Place the wheel of Brie in the center. Fold up the sides of the puff pastry to enclose the mushrooms and Brie, folding in the edges to seal. Place the wrapped Brie on the prepared sheet pan seam-side down and brush with the egg wash.

Tips:
- Use high-quality brie cheese for the best flavor. Brie de Meaux or Brie de Melun are both excellent choices.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the herbs and spices. This will make it easier to spread and will help the flavors to blend together.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the cream cheese filling. Some good options include chives, parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Be careful not to overfill the pastry cups. If you do, the brie will ooze out during baking.
- Bake the brie en croute until the pastry is golden brown and the brie is melted and bubbly.
