Description

Mummy Brie is a fun and festive appetizer perfect for Halloween or any party. Creamy brie cheese is wrapped in flaky puff pastry strips to resemble a mummy, then baked until golden and gooey. Mini pepperoni and black olive slices create spooky eyes, making it an eye-catching treat that’s easy to prepare and delightful to share.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Puff Pastry Wrapper

  • All-purpose flour, for dusting surface
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

For the Filling

  • 1 (7-oz.) wheel of brie

For the Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbsp. milk

For Decoration

  • 2 mini pepperoni slices
  • 2 sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Lightly flour a clean work surface and unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet. Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 1-inch wide strips to create the mummy “bandages.”
  2. Wrap the Brie: Take the 7-ounce wheel of brie and wrap it with the puff pastry strips in a crisscross or overlapping pattern to resemble a mummy’s wrapped look, leaving some gaps to peek through.
  3. Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the large egg and 1 tablespoon of milk to make an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the pastry-wrapped brie. This will give the pastry a beautiful golden color when baked.
  4. Bake: Place the wrapped brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the puff pastry is puffed up and golden brown, and the brie is warm and gooey inside.
  5. Add Eyes and Serve: Remove from oven and immediately create the mummy’s eyes by placing two mini pepperoni slices into two sliced black olives. Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm with crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute mini pepperoni with small bits of roasted red pepper or cherry tomatoes for a vegetarian option.
  • Make sure the brie is at room temperature before wrapping for even warming.
  • If puff pastry starts to get too soft while working, refrigerate it briefly to firm up.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the brie melted and gooey.
