This Baked Brie with Jam has a crispy outside to it and a layer of red pepper chili. It is the perfect holiday appetizer that your guests will love!
If desired, start by making the sugared rosemary and sugared cranberries for presentation - see instructions in the notes below.
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper. Melt the butter and set aside. Start with laying a sheet of phyllo dough horizontally on the baking sheet and brush the entire sheet with melted butter. Repeat with 3 more sheets of phyllo dough, buttering each one and layering each sheet just overlapping at different angles.
Place the brie in the centre of the phyllo sheets and add the red pepper jelly on top of the brie.
Fold the phyllo sheets tightly over the brie to create a parcel of brie and brush the phyllo with more melted butter.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Let the brie sit for a few minutes before using the parchment paper to lift it onto a serving plate. Garnish the top of the brie with chopped pistachios and a generous drizzle of honey and serve with crostini or crackers. Add sugared cranberries and sugared rosemary to the serving dish for a festive holiday presentation if desired.
