Scale
- 1 small wheel of brie (about 8 oz)
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam (or any berry preserves)
- 6 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Crackers or sliced fruit, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place one sheet of phyllo on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Repeat, stacking the remaining sheets and brushing each with butter.
- Place the wheel of brie in the center of the stacked phyllo sheets.
- Spoon raspberry jam on top of the brie.
- Fold the phyllo up and over the brie, tucking and pleating as needed to fully wrap it. Brush the top with more butter.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
- Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with crackers or fresh fruit.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts with the jam.
- Ensure phyllo is fully thawed and covered with a damp towel while working to prevent drying out.
- This dish is best served warm for optimal gooeyness.
