Over the Christmas holiday I made this baked brie wreath. There was something about the flakiness of the crescent roll, gooeyness of the brie and salty crunch of the bacon that sounded so delicious. It was so easy to make and the presentation was just lovely. I knew I wanted to share it with you all.
If you are planning a holiday party, or any gathering, this is the perfect appetizer to make.
What you will Need:
1 pack of crescent rolls
1 8 oz. wheel of brie cut into cubes (I used about 3/4 of it)
Fig Jam or Cranberry Sauce
Bacon chopped small (I used about 3 strips)
1 egg
Fresh Rosemary (for garnish)
Note: For a larger wreath you can use more crescent rolls.
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 375° and cover a baking sheet in parchment paper
Step 2:
Arrange the crescent roll triangles into a circle overlapping the flat bottoms slightly.
Step 3:
Spread the jam on the crescent roll along the circle.
Step 4:
Cover the jam with the cubes of brie (I did not use the full 8 oz).
Step 5:
Sprinkle the bacon over the brie.
Step 6:
Fold the crescent rolls into the center and press to secure.
Step 7:
Coat the top of the crescent rolls with the egg and bake at 375° for about 12-13 minutes until the dough has become brown.
Step 8:
I transferred my wreath to a wooden board and garnished with freshly chopped rosemary and rosemary sprigs.
If you try this at home, leave me a comment and let me know how it turns out.
