Recipe View 5 mins Slice the Brie cheese wheel horizontally into two equal halves. Spread the apricot preserves evenly over the cut side of one half. Carefully place the other half of the Brie on top, creating a 'Brie sandwich' with the preserves in the middle. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 30 mins Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Keep a close eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent burning. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the Brie to set slightly and prevents it from being too molten. Serve immediately with crackers, baguette slices, fresh fruit, or crudités for dipping.

For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) to the apricot preserves.
If you don't have egg white, you can use a little milk or cream to brush the puff pastry.
Feel free to experiment with different preserves to find your favorite flavor combination. Fig jam, raspberry preserves, or even a savory onion marmalade would all be delicious.
To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, you can place a pizza stone or baking steel in the oven while it preheats. This will help to distribute the heat evenly.
Leftover baked brie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat it gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
