Brie en Croûte with Cherries and Pistachios

Serves 8 to 10
Time 30 min
This festive Brie can be served as a dessert or appetizer with Champagne or a semi-dry Riesling. The egg wash gives a golden finish to the baked puff pastry and will help seal the edges together. If any cheese does escape while baking, slather it on a piece of bread and enjoy — the cook's treat!
Ingredients
  • 17 1/2 ounces frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 (400-gram) wheel Brie
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries, (plus a few extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup cherry preserves
  • 1 tablespoon brandy or cognac (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, (plus a few extra for garnish), lightly toasted
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon water

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Lay puff pastry flat on a non-stick or parchment-lined baking sheet or pie pan.

Slice wheel of Brie in half horizontally to create two thinner Brie rounds.

Place one Brie round (rind-side down) onto pastry dough.

In a small bowl, mix together cherries, preserves and brandy. Spread evenly over Brie and scatter pistachios on top. Place other Brie round (rind-side up) over filling.

Lightly brush edges of pastry with egg wash. Bring the edges of the puff pastry up and press them together to seal the dough. If you have any excess dough, you can cut a leaf or other decoration to add to the top of the Brie. Brush each piece with egg wash to help them adhere.

Brush the entire pastry with egg wash.

Bake until pastry is golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving. Garnish sparingly with additional toasted pistachios and dried cherries.
