Description
Make your appetizer the centerpiece with this show-stopping Pumpkin Brie en Croûte Board! Creamy brie is wrapped in golden puff pastry shaped like an autumn pumpkin, then baked to flaky perfection and surrounded by crunchy crackers, fruits, and fall touches. It’s warm, gooey, and unforgettable.
Ingredients
1 wheel of brie (8–12 oz)
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
2 tbsp fig jam, honey, or cranberry sauce (optional filling)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Kitchen twine or unflavored dental floss
Crackers, apple slices, grapes, nuts (for serving)
Instructions
Prep pastry: Lay puff pastry on a floured surface. Place brie in the center and top with jam if using.
Wrap & shape: Fold pastry over brie to fully encase. Flip seam-side down. Tie loosely with 4–5 pieces of kitchen twine to create pumpkin sections.
Egg wash & bake: Brush with beaten egg. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes until puffed and golden.
Cool & decorate: Let sit 10 minutes. Remove twine and insert a small cinnamon stick or pretzel for the “stem.”
Assemble board: Place baked brie in the center, surrounded by crackers, fruits, and nuts.
