A delightful baked brie wrapped in puff pastry, topped with apricot preserves and almonds.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
Ensure the puff pastry is thawed but still cold for easier handling.
Place the brie wheel in the center of the puff pastry.
You can trim the rind of the brie for a creamier texture, but it's optional.
Spread the apricot preserves over the top of the brie and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Distribute the preserves and almonds evenly for consistent flavor.
Fold the puff pastry over the brie, sealing the edges by pinching them together.
Trim any excess pastry to avoid a thick layer on the bottom.
Brush the pastry with beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
Ensure even coverage for a uniform golden color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Check the pastry halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Let the baked brie cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Cooling slightly allows the cheese to set and prevents burns.
Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette.
Arrange on a platter with fresh fruits for an elegant presentation.
