Description

This Halloween Bloody Baked Brie is wrapped in golden puff pastry and oozes with raspberry or cherry preserves that spill out like “blood” when cut. Perfect for spooky charcuterie boards, horror movie nights, or Halloween brunches, it’s an easy, elegant appetizer that wows every time.

Ingredients

Scale

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 wheel brie cheese (8 oz)
3 tablespoons raspberry or cherry preserves (for “blood”)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Optional: Extra preserves for drizzling after baking

Instructions

Preheat & prep: Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare pastry base: Roll out the thawed puff pastry and place the brie in the center.
Add bloody filling: Spoon preserves over the brie. Be generous for dramatic effect.
Wrap & seal: Fold pastry over the brie, sealing edges. Trim or decorate with scraps if desired.
Brush & bake: Brush with egg wash. Bake 25–30 minutes until golden and puffed.
Finish: Rest 5 minutes. Drizzle with more preserves, slice, and serve while warm for the “bloody” reveal.

Notes

Jam choice: Raspberry or cherry preserves give the best “bloody” effect; blackberry yields a darker look.
Make-ahead: Assemble up to 24 hours in advance; refrigerate unbaked and add egg wash before baking.
Serving ideas: Pair with crackers, apple slices, pomegranate seeds, or spooky breadsticks like Cheesy Halloween Breadstick Bones.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers wrapped tightly for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes.
Variations: Try mini versions with smaller brie wheels, add herbs inside, or make vegan with dairy-free brie and pastry.
