Brie-gilla

Serves: 4–6

Ingredients

  • 2 packets brie cheese
  • 100 g Camel Brand bigilla
  • 40 g chopped walnuts
  • 30 g dried cranberries
  • 2 sheets ready-made round puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)

Method

  1. Slice the brie cheese wheel in half horizontally.
  2. Spread Camel Brand bigilla over both halves, reserving a little for the pastry.
  3. Sprinkle the walnuts and cranberries on one half, then place the other half of the brie on top to sandwich the filling.
  4. Roll out the puff pastry (or use ready-rolled) and spread the remaining bigilla in the center. Place the brie on top.
  5. Brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash, then fold to fully enclose the brie. Trim excess pastry if needed and use it for decoration.
  6. Brush the entire parcel with egg wash and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 185°C for 30–40 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Serve warm with galletti or grissini.
