    This Blackberry Walnut Baked Brie appetizer is filled with blackberry preserves and walnuts then wrapped in golden puff pastry to keep in all the melted goodness! If you are looking for a holiday appetizer is simple and indulgent, this is exactly what you need!

    Melted cheese surrounded by puff pastry topped with blackberries and walnuts.

    I called this a holiday appetizer, but it is also perfect for game day, movie night, or wine tasting party!

    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*.

    Brie cheese with the rind scraped off sitting on a cutting board.

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

    A round brie sliced in half with a bread knife.

    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.

    Blackberry jam and chopped walnuts in the center of a sheet of puff pastry.

    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.

    A round slice of brie topped with jelly, walnuts, brown sugar on puff pastry.

    Top with the remaining brie, preserves, and walnuts.

    Two rounds of brie topped with jelly and walnuts stacked on top of puff pastry.

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

    Puff pastry wrapped brie topped egg wash sitting on a silicone lined baking sheet.

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

    Golden brown puff pastry round topped with fresh blackberries and walnuts on a wood cutting board.

    Now you get to decorate the top and serve!

    Recipe Notes & Tips:

    • *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.

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

      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.
