Sausage Baked Brie
Golden, flaky puff pastry wraps around gooey Brie and savory sausage for an appetizer that’s as indulgent as it is easy. Perfect for entertaining, this Sausage Baked Brie is melty, savory, and irresistibly rich.
Ingredients
- Brie Cheese: 1 wheel (8 oz)
- Cooked Sausage: 1/2 cup, finely chopped
- Puff Pastry: 1 sheet, thawed
- Honey or Fig Jam: 2 tablespoons
- Fresh Thyme: 1 teaspoon, chopped (optional)
- Egg: 1, beaten
- All-Purpose Flour: For dusting surface
- Butter (optional): 1 tablespoon, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook and finely chop the sausage. Mix it with honey or jam and thyme, if using.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll out the puff pastry slightly.
- Place the Brie in the center of the pastry. Top with sausage mixture. Fold pastry over the Brie, trimming excess. Pinch to seal and flip seam-side down.
- Chill the wrapped Brie for 15 minutes. Brush with beaten egg.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until puffed and golden.
- Let cool for 5–10 minutes. Brush with melted butter if desired.
- Serve warm with crackers, crostini, or apple slices.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked sausage to prevent sogginess.
- Chilling the wrapped Brie helps hold its shape while baking.
- Score the top of the Brie for better melting effect.
- Let it rest before slicing for clean, gooey cuts.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven for best texture.
