We have spent the last week in the eastern Sierra Mountains in northern California. It has been a week filled with fresh mountain air and outdoor activities. We have fished, hiked, rock-climbed, cycled, swam, and relaxed. Of course, we have been able to enjoy the lively Fourth of July activities that a small town has to offer, almost allowing me to forget that I wasn’t in Canada on July 1st to celebrate Canada Day. Last night was an entertaining fireworks display in the village. My brother-in-law, who lives here, is a member of the county’s Search and Rescue (SAR) team. This morning, we are heading out to decorate the SAR trucks for the Fourth of July parade. My kids couldn’t be more excited to be riding on the snowmobiles that will be sitting on the SAR float. I have promised not to elbow any kids out of the way to get to the candy that is being thrown by the float-riders.
Pile 1 cup of sliced strawberries on top of the Brie.
Fold the rest of the pastry over top of the strawberries so that the entire wheel of Brie is covered. Pinch together the seams.
Sprinkle 3 tbsp of brown sugar on top of pastry.
Top with 2 tbsp chopped walnuts.
Place the baking sheet into the oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is light golden brown. Transfer the baked brie to a serving dish. Cut into it and let the glorious Brie ooze out (sigh). Serve with crackers.
Let me tell you, everyone else was lucky that I was in a sharing mood.

That looks really good! I have tried baked bries several time but I have never been able to get a good photo of them. They always taste great though, You can't go wrong with warm gooey melted brie!

Berries and brie are a perfect combination. I would have liked to have eaten at your home yesterday! Simply stunning appetizer.

A warm gooey brie is a match made in heaven with the strawberries:D

This looks fantastic.
I must admit…I recieved 6 wheels of brie from Rouge et Noir. A great cheese company. I am going to write about them today….Do you mind if I link you for some of the brie recipes?
Chef Fresco says
Sounds like a fun 4th! I love brie! Nice addition of strawberries
Cookin' Canuck says
Thanks for all of the positive comments. I hope everyone in the U.S. had had an enjoyable Fourth of July.
Miranda, 6 wheels of Brie?! I'm so envious. And no, I don't mind at all if you link to my recipes. Thanks for asking.
ValleyWriter says
OMG – this looks incredible! I've done this using preserves before, but fresh slices of fruit looks even better. Great idea!
My Sensei says
I love baked brie!! Never thought to try it with strawberries though. I usually do the whole jam or honey and almonds baked brie, but this looks way too good to pass up! Excellent idea!!
Cooking Mama says
That looks so good! I've never thought of using crescent roll dough instead of puff pastry. Neat!
HannahBanana aka Amanda says
I could seriously sit down with this appy, with a nice glass of wine, and eat the whole thing! Strawberries with brie…great combo!
Oh, and thanks a bunch for liking and linking to my green bean salad recipe! You're fantastic! 🙂

applecrumbles says
You just hit on my most favoriet cheese dish. If I see it on a menu I toy with whether I should indulge myself or not. But I'm the only one who likes it. Great! More for me but twice the guilt.
Love your recipe. It really isn't too difficult to make and SO SO good!
Cynthia says
Oh if I were alone with that thing, there would be no trace of it the next day. That looks insane good.
Karine says
This recipe looks great! I want some! 🙂
Chef E says
At first glance I thought it was some braised chicken breast on top, and then saw what it really was, and I love how you baked the brie in the wonderful fruity packet, but if you want to place some yummy chicken on top and call it my plate I would not refuse 🙂
koshercamembert says
Oh so decadent and oozy. I'd have this for appetizer AND dessert! I sometimes make mine with caramelized onions and no pastry — just slice brie down the center and bake in its box…rind contains everything.
What prompted you BIL to make it with crescent rolls? Just simpler and what was in the pantry/fridge?
B.B.B. says

Wow! Now I've never seen anything like this before! Brie and strawberry pastry!
I can't wait to make this at home though I'll have to be carefull who I serve it to! Here in France they can be pretty picky about how you eat cheese!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Pat Dohaney says
Oh, this will be so delightful. Lucky you to have such a talented BIL.
I absolutely love your site. I am a Canuck from Peterborough, Ontario. I can spend hours checking out the recipes and photographs that leave me drooling.
Thanks so much for all your hard work and thanks for sharing so much.
