Phyllo-wrapped brie with jam

Phyllo-wrapped brie with jam

Print Recipe
By Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 sheets phyllo dough 14×18-inch size
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted
  • 1 lb. round brie
  • 4–6 tablespoons peach, strawberry, or raspberry jam
  • crackers

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lay out a clean, dry dishtowel to cover the phyllo that you are not working with.

2

Unroll the phyllo dough and lay one sheet of dough onto a large cutting board. With a pastry brush, brush the dough with melted butter and wrap it around the brie.

3

Take the next sheet of phyllo dough and brush it with melted butter. Place the wrapped brie fold side down in the center of the phyllo sheet and wrap around the brie. Repeat until you have wrapped 5 sheets of phyllo around the cheese, always turning the cheese over each time so that the folds are on the bottom.

4

Brush a generous amount of butter on your 6th sheet of phyllo dough. Then spread the jam across the top of the cheese wheel. Gently place the phyllo over the jam, butter side down, being careful not to tear the dough. Finish wrapping the brie with the dough, folding the edges underneath the brie and using additional butter as needed to smooth the phyllo folds around the cheese. Brush additional butter over the top.

5

Place in a round baking pan or on a cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes in a 425 degree oven or until lightly brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving with crackers.
