Are you having friends over for a holiday party or game day celebration? If you are looking for something impressive but simple to prepare, this Blackberry Walnut Baked Brie is exactly what you need! You can keep things simple and skip the fresh blackberries on top, or pile them up with toasted walnuts in hopes of receiving some oooohs, and ahhhhs…..Blackberry Walnut Baked Brie COPYRIGHT © 2017 COOKING WITH CURLS

I tried a few different experiments while making my Blackberry Walnut Baked Brie, including using preserves as glue to hold the fresh blackberries in place…which did not work as planned, but I will explain as I go,LOL

How to make Blackberry Walnut Baked Brie

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.

Trim the top and sides of the brie with a sharp knife to remove the rind*…..

Split the brie in half horizontally with the knife to form two halves, set aside…..

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface just enough to remove the creases. Spread 2 Tablespoons of blackberry preserves in the center of the pastry and top with 1 Tablespoon of walnuts…..

Place the bottom half of the brie on the pastry and top with 2 Tablespoons of preserves, 1 Tablespoon of walnuts, and 2 Tablespoons of brown sugar…..

Top with the remaining brie, preserves, and walnuts…..

Pull the puff pastry up and around the brie until completely covered. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the egg wash…..

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes…..

Now you get to decorate the top and serve!

Notes:

  • *Removing the rind is not a requirement, it is edible but it will hold the cheese in place. To achieve a super gooey cheese lava flow, you will need to remove most of it.
  • I twisted the excess dough into a knot on top of the brie hoping it would help hold the blackberries in place, but it actually did the opposite. Flat on top works better.
  • I used 2 Tablespoons of preserves with 1/2 Tablespoon of water to create a “glue” to hold the blackberries in place…but they still ended up rolling off.
  • I used Dickinson’s Seedless Marion Blackberry Preserves, in case you were wondering.

Serve with crackers, and napkins, and your guests will be in cheesy delicious heaven. 🙂

If you don’t have any blackberries on hand, give this Apple Compote and Brie Crostini a try…..

In fact you could even make an Apple Compote and Walnut Baked Brie if you like…that actually sounds really good!

Or how skip the fruit and cheese, and make my favorite Puff Pastry Sausage Rolls…..

I need to plan a party so I can make all of my favorite appetizers. 😉

Enjoy!!

    Yum! This and your sausage rolls look great. I used to host a holiday party every year with bite sized apps. One of the favorites was phyllo cups with brie and jam – usually fig and port, but this would be a great variation.
