Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet
- 1 Piece of Parchment Paper
- 1 Pastry Brush
Ingredients
- 1 Wheel Brie Cheese
- 1 Sheet Puff Pastry
- 1/4 Cup Apricot Jam Or any flavor of your choice
- 2 TB Chopped Pecans or Walnuts
Garnish
- 1 Egg White
- 3 Drops Orange Food Coloring
- 1 Large Stem from a Bell Pepper
Instructions
- Remove the rind from your brie by gently slicing the rind off from all sides. You do not have to remove the rind but it makes it melt better
- Center the brie on the pastry and cut large circle of puff pastry around the brie wheel
- Lift the brie and add your jam and nuts then place the brie back on top
- Pull up the sides of the circle of pastry to enclose the brie and pinch the edges together so the form the pumpkin
- Take 2 ft long strings of kitchen twine and wrap around the brie every inch or so so that it's tight enough to leave indentations to resemble the rind of a pumpkin
- Tie all in the middle and cut off excess twine then flip the brie over and place on parchment lined baking sheet
- Mix egg white with orange food coloring and brush the pumpkin completely
- Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes
- Once slightly cooled add your "pumpkin stem" and serve
Notes
*If you don't have one just dip a paper towel in the egg wash and distribute over the brie
**Remove the rind
