How to make a pumpkin-shaped baked brie

Ingredients

• (1) 8 oz brie wheel
• (1) sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• Fig, apricot or blackberry jam (or pumpkin butter)
• 1 egg white, beaten
• Fresh sage leaves and cinnamon sticks for garnish
• Baker’s twine
• Crackers, fresh sliced bread, pecans, apple slices and any other accompaniments you want to enjoy with your baked brie

‍

Instructions 

1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Lay a thawed sheet of puff pastry on the parchment paper and spread your favorite jam (or pumpkin butter) in the shape of the brie wheel in the center of it. 
3. Place the brie over the jam/pumpkin butter and fold the pastry over the brie so it’s completely covered. Trim off any excess puff pastry and pinch the ends to seal. 
4. Wrap baker’s twine around the pastry-covered brie to create pumpkin-like ridges and tie.
5. Flip the brie over and brush egg white all over the top of the brie.
6. Bake at 375°F for approx. 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool for 3–5 minutes, then cut and remove the twine.
7. Garnish with sage leaves and half a cinnamon stick in the middle. Serve with crackers, sliced bread, nuts and fruit.
