No Halloween party is complete without fun, festive appetizers, and this one might have a better costume than most of your friends. The best part? This spooky starter takes less than an hour to make! Instead of wrapping our brie in a full sheet of puff pastry (like in classic baked brie), we’re going to cut the puff pastry into 1” strips and layer the strips around your brie to effectively “mummify” it. Enjoy it as a Halloween app at your monster bash, as a post-trick-or-treating dinner accompaniment, or as a spooky snack for your next scary movie marathon.
Recipe tips:
While you can choose to stop at the puff pastry wrapping, we like adding eyes (made of sliced olives and peppers) to really amp up the scare factor. Add in the eyes before or after baking—they’re really more for decoration. You can really swap the eyes out for anything; feel free to use candy if you’d prefer this brie to be more of a sweet treat. In that case, we think a little hot honey drizzled on top would be incredible too!
Serving:
We love serving this baked brie with crackers for easy sharing, but you can also serve alongside some toasted slices of a baguette to scoop your brie on top of. To amp up your presentation, you can also add some fruit or veggies to the tray.
