Steps:
- Place brie on the pastry, draw a circle round it with a knife (about 1/2 inch larger than the cheese) and cut out the circle.
- Do the same again.
- Cut a strip of pastry about 1/2" wide that's long enough to wrap around the brie.
- Place the brie on one circle of pastry and tuck the sides up, place another circle on top of the brie and tuck the sides down, then wrap the pastry strip round it to tidy it all up.
- You can press the edges down with a fork if you want it to look REALLY neat, then decorate it with pastry scraps cut into nice shapes.
- Brush it over with a beaten egg so it will have a nice glaze when cooked.
- Bake at 180 degrees for around 20-25 minutes.
- Let it settle for around 20-30 mins then cut into thin wedges and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe brie or camembert. The cheese should be soft and creamy, but not runny. If the cheese is too hard, it will not melt properly in the puff pastry.
- Use a sharp knife to score the cheese. This will help the cheese to melt evenly and prevent it from oozing out of the pastry.
- Wrap the cheese tightly in the puff pastry. Make sure that there are no gaps in the pastry, or the cheese will leak out.
- Chill the wrapped cheese for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the pastry to hold its shape and prevent the cheese from melting too quickly.
- Bake the cheese at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy crust on the pastry and prevent the cheese from overcooking.
- Let the cheese cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from running out of the pastry.
