This Baked Brie with Raspberry & Rosemary Jam is a delicious and easy holiday appetizer that will impress your guests. The savory brie is enveloped in flaky puff pastry, while the sweet raspberry jam and fragrant rosemary elevate the dish to new heights. Perfectly baked until golden brown and gooey on the inside, this brie is drizzled with honey for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve it with crackers, bread, or fresh apples for a well-rounded appetizer.

INGREDIENTS

  • Brie cheese: 8 oz wedge, creamy and melty when baked
  • Raspberry jam: ¼ cup, adds sweetness and richness to the brie
  • Fresh rosemary: 1-2 sprigs, finely chopped, for a fragrant herbaceous note
  • Puff pastry: 1 thawed sheet, provides a golden, crispy crust around the brie
  • Egg: 1, beaten, for brushing the pastry to give it a shiny golden finish
  • Honey: for drizzling, adding sweetness after baking
  • Apples, crackers, or bread: for serving alongside the baked brie

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2:
Chop the rosemary leaves and mix them with raspberry jam in a bowl.
Step 3:
Place the brie in the center of the puffed pastry on a baking sheet.
Step 4:
Spread the raspberry-rosemary jam on top of the brie.
Step 5:
Fold the puffed pastry over the brie, sealing the edges tightly to encase it completely.
Step 6:
Refrigerate the wrapped brie for 10 minutes to allow the pastry to chill and hold its shape.
Step 7:
Brush the puffed pastry with the beaten egg to achieve a golden and glossy finish.
Step 8:
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9:
Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting to prevent the brie from oozing out.
Step 10:
Drizzle with honey and top with fresh rosemary. Serve with apples, crackers, or bread.

Serving and Storage Tips

  • Serve the baked brie warm with fresh fruit, crackers, or crusty bread for dipping.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Helpful Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter touch, try using fig jam or apricot jam instead of raspberry jam.
  • For a more intense rosemary flavor, feel free to add a bit more rosemary to the jam mixture.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

  • Chef Ina Garten suggests adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the baked brie just before serving for a sweet-salty flavor contrast.
