Let’s Make it Together

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your mummy gets that perfect crispiness once it enters the heat.

Prepare Your Puff Pastry: While the oven warms up, roll out your puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. You want it about ¼ inch thick for optimal wrapping.

Wrap the Brie: Place your brie in the center of the pastry and fold over each corner like wrapping a present. Make sure no cheese escapes; we want all that gooey goodness inside.

Create Mummy Strips: Use leftover pastry scraps to cut thin strips. Lay them over your wrapped brie diagonally to mimic bandages—this is where the fun begins!

Add Some Color: Brush the entire mummy with egg wash using a pastry brush. This gives it that beautiful golden-brown color while baking.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Slide your masterpiece into the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown and puffed up. The smell will make you dance with anticipation!

Once you pull out this beauty from the oven, let it rest for just a minute (if you can resist). Slice into that fragrant crust and watch as molten cheese oozes out—pure happiness on a plate!
