Instructions
Making Puff Pastry Wrapped Mummy Brie is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
3. Wrap the Brie: Place the brie in the center of the pastry. Fold the pastry over the cheese, trimming off any excess. Pinch to seal.
4. Make Mummy Strips: Cut any leftover pastry into thin strips to create the mummy wrap.
5. Position the Strips: Carefully lay the strips over the wrapped brie to resemble a mummy. Leave gaps for the eyes.
6. Egg Wash: Brush the entire wrapped brie with the beaten egg to give it that beautiful golden color when baked.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
8. Add Eyes: Remove from the oven and position the black olives where the mummy’s eyes should be.
9. Let Cool: Allow it to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
10. Serve: If desired, serve with cranberry sauce or honey for dipping.
Following these steps will guarantee that your Puff Pastry Wrapped Mummy Brie turns out delicious and eye-catching!
