Mummy Wrapped Brie Sausage is a creative and spooky appetizer perfect for Halloween parties. It combines the creaminess of Brie cheese with the savory goodness of sausage, all wrapped up to resemble a mummy. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 wheel of Brie cheese (about 8 ounces)
- 1 small cooked sausage link (e.g., cocktail sausage)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Edible googly eyes (available at baking supply stores or online)
- Ketchup or mustard (optional, for “bloody” eyes)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
a. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
a. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to create a larger, thinner sheet.
b. Cut the puff pastry into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
3. Wrap the Brie:
a. Remove any packaging from the Brie cheese.
b. Wrap the Brie with the puff pastry strips, crisscrossing them to resemble bandages. Leave a small opening at the top for the sausage to peek out like a mummy’s head.
c. Place the wrapped Brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Add the Sausage:
a. Insert the cooked sausage link into the top opening of the Brie, making it look like the mummy’s head.
5. Brush with Egg Wash:
a. Brush the entire puff pastry-wrapped Brie with the beaten egg. This will give it a nice golden color when baked.
6. Bake:
a. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
7. Decorate:
a. Remove the mummy-wrapped Brie from the oven and let it cool slightly.
b. Carefully place edible googly eyes onto the sausage link to create the mummy’s eyes. If you want them to look “bloody,” you can add a small drop of ketchup or mustard to each eye.
8. Serve:
a. Place the Mummy Wrapped Brie Sausage on a serving platter.
b. You can serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
This spooky and delicious appetizer is sure to be a hit at your Halloween party. Your guests will be both frightened and delighted by the creativity and taste of this Mummy Wrapped Brie Sausage!
