My easy mummified baked brie is a spooky Halloween appetizer for the adult crowd. Onions and mushrooms browned in butter. Flavored with a little Dijon mustard, splash of apple cider and fresh thyme. Sandwiched inside the wheel of brie that’s wrapped in “bandages”. Store-bought puff pastry sliced into strips. Two slices of black olives added after baking are its eyes. Take it out of the oven, add your dippers right onto the baking sheet and dig in. It’s scary how delicious this mummy brie is!

Ingredients for mummy brie
- Brie Cheese – I used an 8 oz wheel of Brie cheese for this recipe.
- Filling Mixture – Fresh ingredients turn this quick and easy appetizer into a gourmet eating experience! Butter, onion, cremini mushrooms, apple cider, Dijon mustard, fresh thyme, salt and cracked black pepper.
- Puff Pastry Bandages – You can use frozen or refrigerated puff pastry. I like the refrigerated variety because then I don’t have to remember to thaw it. For testing purposes, I used half of a 13.2 oz package of JusRol refrigerated puff pastry.
- Eyes – Just two slices of black olives, added after baking.
- Dippers – For testing and photography I chose whole grain crackers and green apple slices. You could also use baguette slices, pretzels or celery sticks.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Serving suggestions
This mummified brie is begging to be the centerpiece of a charcuterie board. Instead of serving it quickly from the baking sheet, you can transfer it to a bigger board. Then surround it with grapes, pears, cucumber slices, mixed nuts, dried fruit, cured meats and more cheeses.

Storage directions
You can wrap leftovers tightly in foil or store in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for 1-2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F until the cheese softens. I don’t recommend freezing leftover baked brie.
Kitchen tools
- My favorite nonstick skillet
- 9×6 sheet pans similar to what I used for testing
- I prefer to use unbleached parchment paper
