Mummy Baked Brie

🧀Why You'll Love This Halloween Recipe

Mummy baked brie is how you do Halloween appetizers for a grown-up crowd — all the spooky charm of mummy wrapping, but the filling is molten brie and fig jam. Three ingredients, one baking sheet, and it looks like you hired a caterer.

🧺Ingredients for Mummy Baked Brie

• 1 wheel (8 oz) brie, rind on
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 3 tbsp fig jam or apricot preserves
• 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 2 small black olive slices (for eyes)
• Crackers, crostini, and apple slices, for serving

👩‍🍳How to Make Mummy Baked Brie Step by Step

1. Heat the oven. Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Top the brie. Set the brie wheel in the center of the pastry sheet. Spread the fig jam over the top of the brie.
3. Wrap. Fold the pastry up and over the brie, trimming excess and pinching to seal underneath. Flip seam-side down.
4. Cut the bandages. From the pastry scraps (or a second sheet), cut 1/2-inch strips. Lay them crisscross over the top like mummy bandages, leaving a small gap for the face. Tuck the ends under.
5. Bake. Brush all over with egg wash and bake 22-25 minutes until deep golden and puffed.
6. Add eyes and serve. Rest 5 minutes, press the olive slices into the face gap, and serve warm with crackers, crostini, and apple slices.

🎃Halloween Party Serving Ideas

❓Frequently Asked Questions

Do I remove the rind from the brie?

No — the rind holds everything together in the oven and is completely edible. It softens beautifully as the cheese melts.

Can I make mummy brie ahead?

Wrap it (without egg wash) up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate. Brush with egg wash and bake straight from the fridge, adding 3-5 minutes.

What jam goes best with baked brie?

Fig jam is classic, but apricot preserves, cranberry sauce, or hot honey all work. For Halloween, a dark cherry preserve looks extra dramatic against the cheese.
