Mummy Brie Ingredients

Brie wheel – This is the star of the recipe. You can buy any brand of brie. It will give you that savory melted cheese goodness as you slice into it. 
Jam – You can use any type of jam you would like. From apricot to blackberry to this fig jam and all things in between. Any type of jam works for spreading onto the brie, to add some sweetness. 
Package of crescent rolls – The crescent rolls bake up golden brown and are light enough when you bite into it, it is the perfect pairing. 
Candy eyes – You can buy these in the baking aisle at the grocery store or just buy these candy eyes online. 
Fruit of your choice for dipping – Any type of fruit can be used to pair with your appetizer. 

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 375. Cut the crescent rolls into strips and begin to wrap them around the Brie wheel.

Keep wrapping the strips of dough over the Brie, tucking all the ends under.

Place the Brie wheel into the oven for 15 minutes or until mummy is golden. Remove from oven and place two candy eyes into the mummy.

Recipe Variations And Substitutions

• Cheese – Goat cheese, boursin, or camembert are all going to be a great swap. Just wrap the cheese in crescent roll dough before you add strips to make the mummy look. 
• Vegan Cheese – You can use a plant based cheese in replace of the brie if you need. 
• Mini Brie Wheels – You can buy mini brie wheels to wrap and use to make mini bite size wheels instead. 
• Dough – Puff pastry, phyllo dough, or even a pizza dough can be used in replace of the crescent rolls. 
• Spread – Before you add the puff pastry you can add caramelized onions, pesto, honey, apple butter, etc on top of the brie wheel. 

Tips For Making 

• I do recommend starting with a chilled brie wheel when you start, that way it holds up in the oven. 
• Using a pizza cutter is great for getting long strips to wrap around the cheese to create the “mummy” effect. 
• If you find your dough is not getting golden brown, you can use an egg wash to create a golden brown finish on the dough.
• I do recommend serving this right after you get it out of the oven, that way the cheese is nice and melted. 

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cheese instead of brie?

You are more than welcome to change up the cheese used int his recipe. Camembert is a great swap, as it will hold up as it bakes, instead of melting fully like a mozzarella would. 

Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent roll dough? 

Yes you sure can use puff pastry in replace of crescent roll dough. Cut your puff pastry and wrap it the same way you would the crescent roll dough. 

What other dippers can I serve with Mummy Brie?

Crackers, pretzels, vegetable sticks and slices, baguette slices, and more are all wonderful pairings to go with the brie. Get creative and use whatever you would like to serve with it. 

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

To reheat leftovers you will want to place in the oven at 350 degrees, and cook for around 10 minutes or until warmed. Or you can microwave, but know it will cause the crescent pastry to be a bit soggy.
