This Crescent Lined Baked Brie recipe is perfect when you want to serve guests a little something special. I love how the cheese oozes once you slice into this yummy goodness.
The garlic and apricot flavors blend wonderfully with roasted meat dinners that I love to make in the fall and winter months. And it’s so easy to prepare, served with fresh fruits and nuts. Your guests will think you’ve slaved for hours in the kitchen.

Notes on Refrigerator Crescent Rolls
For this recipe, I like to shop for crescent rolls that have not been cut, although this type is not always easy to find. It just makes the preparation for this recipe that much more simple. And simple is always good.
If you can find Garlic-flavored rolls even better. If not, I’ve included instructions for adding herbs and spices to the dough below.
Assemble the Appetizer
Unwrap crescent roll from container. Roll out onto the parchment paper. If the crescent rolls are precut, press together to seal the edges.
The first time I prepared this appetizer, I could easily find garlic-flavored crescent rolls. However, I haven’t seen them for a long time at the store. To flavor the dough, sprinkle 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 2 teaspoons dried parsley over the dough.
Place the unwrapped brie in the center of the crescent pastry.
I’ve actually tried this recipe with both the rind on and off. If you have issues with the sometimes unsavory flavor of the rind, go ahead and remove it. But it’s not necessary if you don’t want to mess with the removal. The cheese will ooze rather well, either way.
Top the brie with apricot preserves and almonds.
For easier wrapping, score the dough in sections as shown above, by dividing it into fourths.
Bake the Brie
Beginning with one side, wrap the crescent dough up and over the brie, until all sides are covered. Pinch and twist the dough at the top into a knot of sorts to seal.
My mother-in-law would create a beautiful top for this appetizer, but I apparently don’t have her creative talents for doing so. Just do the best you can. It will taste wonderful, I promise!
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
You’ll want to serve Crescent Lined Baked Brie shortly after removing from the oven to ensure that the brie will ooze. Transfer to a pretty serving platter. Serve warm with crackers, sliced apples or pears, and English walnuts. My Glazed English Walnuts pair splendidly with the brie and apricot flavors.
Wine Suggestion
If desired, serve this dinner with a favorite sparkling wine such as Chandon Brut Rosé or Saracco Moscato d’Asti, a sparkling Prosecco, or a Pinot Grigio, such as Ziobaffa Organic Pinot Grigio.
