Pumpkin-Shaped Brie Appetizer
INGREDIENTS
- 1 puff pastry
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin butter
- 1 wheel brie cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Baker's twine
- Sage leaves
INSTRUCTIONS
Take the pastry puff out of its wrapping, and spread a spoonful of pumpkin butter in the middle of it.
Then, place a wheel of brie cheese on top of the pumpkin butter.
Cut the pastry puff into a circle, and get rid of the excess.
Then, wrap the brie in the puff pastry and pinch to seal.
Tie 6 pieces of baker's twine evenly around the brie.
Make the egg wash by combining 1 egg (or egg whites) with a tablespoon of milk or water. Whisk the mixture until it's well-combined.
Flip the brie pumpkin over, and cover it in the egg-white wash.
Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.
Remove the baker's twine, and add sage leaves on top.
