This playful Mummy Brie recipe features a creamy wheel of brie wrapped in golden puff pastry strips to resemble a mummy. Perfect for Halloween or any fun gathering, it is baked to gooey perfection and adorned with mini pepperoni and black olive ‘eyes’ for a spooky, delicious appetizer.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour, for surface
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 (7-oz.) wheel of brie
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp. milk
  • 2 mini pepperoni slices
  • 2 sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour your work surface to prevent sticking. Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet and carefully cut it into 1-inch wide strips.
  2. Wrap the Brie: Take the wheel of brie and wrap the puff pastry strips around it in a crisscross pattern to resemble a mummy, leaving some gaps for the cheese to peek through.
  3. Egg Wash Application: In a small bowl, whisk together the large egg and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth. Use a pastry brush to evenly brush this egg wash over the wrapped puff pastry to ensure a beautiful, golden finish when baked.
  4. Baking: Place the wrapped brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is deeply golden and the brie is warm and gooey inside.
  5. Create the Eyes: While the brie bakes, prepare the eyes by inserting two mini pepperoni slices into two sliced black olives.
  6. Serve: Once baked, carefully transfer the mummy brie to a serving platter. Affix the pepperoni and olive eyes onto the exposed brie for a spooky mummy look. Serve immediately with crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • Allow puff pastry to thaw completely before use for easier handling.
  • You can customize the ‘eyes’ by using different types of slices like red bell pepper and olives, or edible candy eyes.
  • Serve immediately after baking for the best gooey texture.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry strips evenly for neat wrapping.
  • This appetizer pairs well with wine and is great for Halloween parties or casual get-togethers.
