Make baked brie the easy way with crescent roll dough! This crowd-pleasing appetizer bakes up golden, flaky, and gooey in under 30 minutes—perfect for holidays, parties, or a dinner party.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC). Take the Brie out of the fridge and let sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Open the crescent rolls and divide into two squares. Place one square on the prepared baking sheet and roll it out so there are no longer perforations in the dough. Use the bottom of the box the Brie came in or a cookie cutter to cut a 3" (7.6cm) circle from the remaining dough square and set aside.
Drizzle honey in the center of the dough square and place the Brie in on top. Add the dough circle on the top and begin to fold the dough over the sides of the cheese, pleating the upper edges and trimming any additional overhang so it encases the cheese.
Flip the Brie in crescent roll dough over onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet so the pleats are on the bottom. Whisk together the egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of water and brush the dough with the egg wash.
Bake the Brie until the dough is cooked through and the top is golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Serve warm with crackers and apple slices or as a part of a cheese and charcuterie board.
Notes
If desired re-roll out dough scraps and cut shapes to decorate the top of the baked Brie.
