Instructions

Prepare the Brie Pumpkin:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Optional: Spread jam on top of the brie wheel.

Wrap brie in puff pastry, sealing edges underneath. Use kitchen twine to tie loosely in 6–8 sections to create pumpkin ridges.

Brush with egg wash. Bake on a parchment-lined sheet for 25–30 minutes, until golden.

Cool slightly, then remove twine. Insert cinnamon stick into center and top with sage leaf.

Assemble the Board:

Place baked brie in the center.

Fan sliced apples and pears around it.

Add small piles of crackers and bread on opposite sides for balance.

Scatter dried figs, sugared cranberries, and candied nuts throughout.

Place jam or preserves in a small bowl with a spoon.
