Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 sheet Woolworths frozen puff pastry, just thawed
  • 200g Thomas Dux triple cream brie wheel
  • 1 free range egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp tomato sauce
  • 1 pitted black olive, cut into two slices
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, cored, sliced
  • 2 sticks celery, cut into batons
  • 8 grissini sticks

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced) and line a baking tray with baking paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Prepare Brie Mummy: Using a small sharp knife, carefully cut the thawed puff pastry into 0.5cm wide strips. Wrap these strips around the whole brie wheel in a crisscross mummy bandage pattern, ensuring the cheese is fully wrapped. Place the wrapped brie onto the prepared baking tray and brush the puff pastry strips with the lightly beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
  3. Bake: Bake the wrapped brie in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
  4. Decorate: Remove from the oven and immediately place two small dots of tomato sauce on the brie to create eyes. Top each dot with a slice of black olive to complete the mummy’s eyes.
  5. Serve: Arrange the baked Brie Mummy on a serving platter alongside the sliced Granny Smith apples, celery batons, and crunchy grissini sticks for dipping and nibbling.

Notes

  • Swap grissini sticks with carrot sticks for a healthier dipping choice.
  • Ensure the puff pastry is properly thawed to avoid tearing while wrapping.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut clean pastry strips.
  • Serve immediately for best texture: warm, melty brie with crispy pastry.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute with gluten-free puff pastry.
