What is Brie Cheese?
Before we delve into the creation of a drool-worthy Strawberry Jam Baked Brie, I have to make sure you know your ingredients. So if you are new to this French delicacy, let me give you a proper introduction! Here’s all you need to know about Brie cheese.
Brie cheese originated from France, and was often gifted to French royalty. It is made of a creamy buttery interior, and a soft edible rind of white mold.
Brie is made from cows or goats’ milk, and is high in fat, calcium, and vitamins.
Now when it comes to the flavor and texture, Brie cheese has a deep rich fruity flavor, a strong earthy aroma, and a creamy texture. It turns a bit earthy with age.

Tips for a Perfect Strawberry Jam Baked Brie
Tip 1: Allow your Brie to cool down before you cut it, or else all the cheese will ooze out; and that my friends, is not pleasant at all (learned my lesson the hard way LOL!).
Tip 2: Although I prefer using egg wash for this recipe, you can substitute it with cooking oil spray if you prefer.
Tip 3: If you don’t want your Brie spreading all over the baking sheet, then try placing it in a pie pan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sure you can! After baking the puff pastry with cheese, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days. Reheat it for a few minutes when you are ready then top it off with jam.
Sometimes, store-bought puff pastries come a little bit on the smaller size. If that’s the case, then simply roll your puff pastry with a rolling pin, or connect 2 pieces or more to create a bigger one.
