Ingredients

• 1 Raspberry Butter Braid® Pastry
• 8 oz. brie cheese wheel
• 3 tbsp. raspberry jam
• 1/4 c. fresh raspberries
• 1/4 c. pecans, chopped
• 1 egg, beaten
• Fresh raspberries for garnish

Step-By-Step Directions

1. Remove the packaging from your Raspberry pastry and set it out to begin the rising process, about 2 hours.
2. Preheat your oven to 375°F. While it is heating up, unbraid the pastry and scoop out the raspberry filling. Put the filling in a bowl and set it aside.
3. Lay your brie wheel down flat. Cut a thin slice off the top of the wheel; this will give you a flatter surface to work with when layering on your ingredients.
4. Spread the raspberry filling you scooped out of the pastry earlier on top of the brie wheel. Next, add the raspberry jam over the filling. Then, arrange the fresh raspberries and chopped pecans over top the raspberry jam.
5. Wrap your pastry dough around the brie wheel. Pinch the edges of the dough to seal it shut.
6. Brush the beaten egg all over the pastry. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
7. Let the Raspberry Brie Pastry cool for 5 minutes. Serve with crackers, sliced apples, grapes, fresh raspberries, etc.

Tips for Making a Raspberry Brie Pastry

• Use fresh raspberries for the best results. Frozen raspberries can release a lot of liquid when baked which can affect your dough.
• Leftover Raspberry Brie Pastry should be tightly wrapped in plastic and stored in the fridge. It can stay like this for 3-4 days. When you’re ready to enjoy your leftovers, rewarm them in the oven at 200°F for about 20 minutes or until the outside is crispy and the inside is warm.
