SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE AIR FRYER BRIE RECIPE

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the perfect appetizer (the exact measurements with step-by-step instructions, nutritional information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):

• Wheel of brie cheese (about 8-10 ounces)
• Sheet of puff pastry dough
• Fruit preserves – apricot preserves, raspberry, or fig jam work well
• Chopped nuts – such as almonds or pecans
• Large egg – acts as the egg wash
• Crackers, sliced baguette, sourdough bread, crescent rolls, white bread, etc.
• Optional – fresh fruits. brown sugar, maple syrup, cranberry sauce, sweet honey, etc.

HOW TO MAKE

1. Set your air fryer to 375 degrees F and allow it to preheat while you prepare the brie.
2. If your brie wheel comes in a rind, you can leave it intact for a more rustic look, or you can carefully remove the top layer to expose the creamy interior. Place brie in the center of the puff pastry sheet.
3. ​Spoon the fruit preserves over the brie, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the chopped nuts on top, allowing them to stick to the preserves.
4. Gently fold the puff pastry over the brie, ensuring it covers the cheese entirely. Trim any excess pastry and press the edges to seal the seams. You can get creative with shapes or keep it simple for an elegant presentation.
5. Brush the beaten egg over the top of the puff pastry. This will give your baked brie a beautiful golden-brown finish.
6. Carefully transfer the wrapped brie to the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
7. Remove the air-fried baked brie from the air fryer and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. Place it on a serving platter and surround it with crackers or slices of baguette for dipping into your gooey cheese.
