Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Unfold the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it slightly larger, about 12 inches (30 cm) across.

  3. Place the round of Brie in the center of the pastry. Spread the raspberry jam over the top of the Brie and sprinkle with the chopped walnuts.

  4. Fold the pastry up and over the Brie, trimming any excess and pinching the seams closed so the cheese is fully enclosed. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the pastry is deep golden brown and the Brie feels soft when pressed gently in the center.

  6. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with the melted jam and walnuts from the top.
