Perfect for any occasion, this sweet and savory appetizer from Lea Dixon is made by baking a rich brie wheel, Kelly’s Marionberry Habanero Pepper Jelly (or another favorite flavor of Kelly’s Jelly) and fresh berries in a flaky puff pastry. The result is a warm, gooey and flavorful appetizer that is as beautiful as it is delicious. Serve it with warm bread, crackers, or crostini.

INGREDIENTS

• 8 oz Brie Wheel
  
• 1 jar Kelly’s Marionberry Habanero Pepper Jelly (or another favorite flavor of Kelly’s Jelly)
• 1 egg
  
• 2 T water
  
• Dash of salt
  
• 1-2 cups fresh berries
  
• Puff Pastry

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  
• Cut the top rind off the brie wheel.
  
• Roll out the puff pastry and place the brie wheel on the pastry.
  Spread Kelly’s Marionberry Habanero Pepper Jelly on the top of your brie wheel; the jelly first helps the berries stay in place.
  
• Pile your fresh berries on top of the brie and jelly.
  
• Wrap the brie, jelly and berries with the puff pastry.
  
• Beat one egg with 2 T water and dash of salt to make egg wash.
  
• Brush egg wash on top and sides of puff pastry dough, for a beautiful golden crust when baked.
  
• Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.
  
• Cut out small wedge of warm brie, garnish with fresh berries and bay leaf or basil.
  
• Serve with warm bread, crackers or crostini.
