Description

Mummy Brie is a fun and festive appetizer perfect for Halloween or any gathering. This recipe features a wheel of creamy brie wrapped in flaky puff pastry strips to resemble a mummy, baked until golden and gooey. Topped with mini pepperoni and sliced black olives to create spooky mummy eyes, it’s a playful and delicious dish that is sure to impress your guests.


Ingredients

Scale

Pastry and Cheese

  • All-purpose flour, for surface
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 (7-oz.) wheel of brie

Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbsp. milk

Decorations

  • 2 mini pepperoni slices
  • 2 sliced black olives


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Workspace: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour a clean work surface to prevent the puff pastry from sticking as you work.
  2. Wrap Brie with Puff Pastry: Unroll the thawed sheet of puff pastry on the floured surface. Cut the pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Carefully wrap these strips around the entire wheel of brie, leaving small gaps to mimic the appearance of mummy bandages.
  3. Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush this evenly over the wrapped puff pastry to help it bake to a beautiful golden brown.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Place the wrapped brie onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is deeply golden and crispy and the brie inside has warmed through and become gooey.
  6. Add Mummy Eyes: After removing from the oven, create the mummy’s eyes by placing two mini pepperoni slices into two sliced black olives. Position them on the brie for a fun, festive look.
  7. Serve: Serve the mummy brie warm with crackers or sliced baguette for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before working with it to prevent cracking.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to avoid sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Let the baked brie cool slightly to avoid burning your mouth when serving.
  • Mini pepperoni and olive eyes can be swapped for other toppings depending on your preference or dietary restrictions.
  • This appetizer is best enjoyed warm as the brie is gooey and melty.
