Prepare
- You can slice the brie in half to create a sandwich-like effect.
Steps
- 🍽️Or you can leave the brie wheel intact and just trim the top rind of the wheel.
- 🌿Add a generous portion of jam to the top of the wheel, or one side of the sandwich
- ✨Roll dough out with a rolling pin on a floured surface
- 🥄Trim excess dough.
- 🔥You can also use it to decorate .
- 🧂Wrap the pastry up around the sides and over the top of cheese wheel, wrapping completely and pressing the edges of dough together to form a tightly sealed package.
Cook
- 🌿Carefully flip the dough-wrapped cheese over, so that the gathered dough is on the bottom.Place the package, seam side down, on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare
- ✨The brie can be prepared up to this point and refrigerated for 2 days before baking.
Steps
- 🥄Be sure to bring the brie to room temperature before baking.
Prepare
- 🔥Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- 🧂Combine the egg and water and brush the mixture over the top and sides of the pastry.
- 🍳Add design from leftover dough if you'd like, and brush with egg mixture
Steps
- 🧂You can use leftover sorrel pulp from your juice to make the jam.
- 🍳It will be a little less acidic and the color will be a brighter red instead of darker red.
- Make my jam a day ahead, so I don’t feel rushed and the jam will have time to settle.
- 🍽️Add the jam to the center of the brie by slicing the brie in half and having the jam as a filler.
- 🌿Next time, I’ll use a larger pot, so that I don’t need to add water frequently to tenderize the sorrel.
