Baked Brie in Puff Pastry with Cranberry Compote
Oozy, gooey, salty, sweet, crispy goodness. Oh my… This Baked Brie in Puff Pastry with Cranberry Compote is such a great little recipe. You can’t really call it a recipe, to be honest, but it certainly delivers!
Is there anything more indulgent than warm, melty Brie wrapped in golden pastry? This dish is the ultimate crowd-pleaser—perfect for parties, holidays, or a cozy night in. The Brie melts into a rich, creamy center, while the puff pastry turns beautifully crisp. And that cranberry compote? Sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of tart. It cuts through the richness like a dream. Baked Brie in Puff Pastry with Cranberry Compote is def one of my favourite easy comfort foods.
To take it up a notch, top the pastry with your choice of seeds before baking. A scattering of fennel seeds, nigella seeds, or sesame seeds adds a subtle crunch and an extra layer of flavor that makes all the difference. Then, simply pop it in the oven and bake until golden. That’s it! Once out, let it rest (if you can wait). Then slice in and watch the cheese ooze out. Pure heaven.
For the perfect balance, pair it with a simple fresh salad on the side—something crisp and lightly dressed to cut through the richness. However you enjoy it, one thing’s for sure—it won’t last long!

Loading...Ingredients
- 1 large sheet puff pastry (or 9 small squares), defrosted (see notes)
- 1 wheel of brie or camembert
- 1 tbsp cranberry compote (any compote or chutney will work)
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1 tsp nigella seeds (optional)
- 1 tsp fennel seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Roll out a large sheet of defrosted puff pastry or attach 6 small squares.
Lay a circle of brie or camembert in the middle. Top off with some cranberry compote and fold all the sides over to make a sealed package.
Brush the puff pastry brie package with whisked egg and, if you like, sprinkle some flavourings on top. I used nigella and fennel seeds.
Bake in the oven for 40 - 45 minutes until nice and golden and crispy.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a simple fresh salad.
