Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 8 ounce brie cheese
- ¼ cup cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoon walnuts toasted, and chopped
- 1 egg
Cranberry Sauce
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 star anise pods
- ⅔ cup maple syrup
- 12 ounces cranberries fresh or frozen
- 1 orange zested and juiced
- ½ cup apple juice
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
- Toast walnuts in a 350°F oven for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool. Then give them a rough chop.
- Trim off the top rind of the brie cheese wheel using a sharp knife.
- Unroll the puff pastry and place it on a floured surface, using a rolling pin, roll puff pastry out into a slightly larger square.
- Place the wheel of brie into the center of the puff pastry and top with cranberry sauce and walnuts.
- Fold each corner of the puff pastry toward the center and gently press to seal, forming a square shape around the brie.
- Whisk the egg to make an egg wash, then brush it evenly over the puff pastry.
- Cook the brie in the air fryer for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Cranberry Sauce
- In a medim-size saucepan toast the star anise and cinnamon for 2 minutes on medium-low heat.
- Pour in maple syrup and bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add in cranberries and ginger and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in apple juice, orange juice, and zest. Cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat stirring to help the cranberries break down.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and star anise. Transfer to a serving dish or refrigerate.
Notes
- Brush the puff pastry with an egg wash to achieve that golden brown color you are after.
- Trim off the top of the rind to help the brie melt more evenly, creating a perfect texture for dipping.
- Working with puff pastry while it’s still cold (but not frozen) makes for easy handling.
- Baked brie is ready when its internal temperature reaches 155–160°F. At this point, it should ooze and become perfectly spreadable when you cut into it.
