Baked brie is one of our all-time favorite appetizers. There’s just something so delicious about that chewy puff pastry and oozing melted brie, and it’s so good when paired with something a little sweet like grapes or slices of pear. We wanted to give this favorite app a little fall flavor, and what better way to do that than pumpkin? So we paired it with some pumpkin butter and a cute pumpkin shape to make the perfect autumn appetizer. It’s adorable and delicious!
Pumpkin butter is basically pumpkin puree that’s been cooked down, which means that it has a concentrated pumpkin flavor and a nice bit of sweetness. It goes really well with the ooey-gooey melted brie here.
To make the cute pumpkin shape, you just need some regular ol’ kitchen twine! You lay it out in a web before arranging the puff pastry sheet and brie on top, and after folding up the pastry you simply tie the strings of twine around it to create lines like a pumpkin. And a cheese straw makes an awfully tasty stem!
