Puff pastry baked brie with cherry preserves and prosciutto

Course Appetizer
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 2 14 oz Sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 10-12 oz wheels of brie
  • 1 jar cherry jam
  • kosher salt, as needed

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp  water

Topping

  • 4 oz thinly sliced Prosciutto di Parma
  • fresh thyme leaves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°
  • Prepare a sheet pan with a piece of parchment paper. Unfold one of the sheets of puff pastry. Place a wheel of brie right in the center. Spread a spoonful of cherry jam on top of the brie. Fold each corner of the pastry over the brie, pressing all the edges together so the brie is enclosed.
  • Repeat with the other sheet of puff pastry. Crack the egg into a bowl and add the tablespoon of water. Whisk with a fork to create an egg wash. Brush a light coating of the egg wash on top of each pastry. Sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt.
  • Bake for 25 minutes until puffed and golden. Let sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
  • Cut into the pastry and top with more cherry jam, and the prosciutto. Garnish with the thyme. Serve more prosciutto on the side for guests to serve themselves.
