This Mummy Brie and spooky cheese & cracker board are the perfect addition to a grown up Halloween party!
Halloween is not just for kids! We adults like to get in on the fun too. And an adult Halloween party needs to have appetizers that are festive, but also delicious! One of my favorite easy appetizers is a cheese board. This black slate cheeseboard was the perfect choice for Halloween.
I used an assortment of cheese – gouda, cheddar and gruyere. Added some dark purple grapes, marcona olives and crackers!
I also wanted to serve Brie, one of my favorite cheeses, so I dressed it up for Halloween by wrapping it in pastry crust. Mummy Brie is always a huge hit.
How to Make Wrapped Brie
- To make it extra scary, I added a layer of raspberry jam to the brie before I wrapped it up.
- Wrap the brie in puff pastry. Cover the entire brie with one sheet of dough.
- Then turned it upside down so the edges of the dough were underneath.
- Brush the entire thing with an egg wash.
- Cut the second sheet of dough into 3/4″ strips and use the strips to wrap the brie like a mummy
- Add another brush of egg wash and two almond eyes.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown.
- Then cut into it and enjoy.
I love how the cheese and jam oozes out of the mummy! So scary and delicious!!

In some places you say you use puff pastry and other places you call it phyllo dough. I’ve read theses are very different. Which one do I need to make this adorable recipe?
Sorry about that – I used puff pastry. I have corrected the recipe card.
Can you make it ahead and refrigerate it until ready to bake? Thanks. Looks great.
Yes you can – enjoy!
Hello
I always take off the white crusty stuff on the brie. A friend of mine didn’t and she said it tasted horrible. Was that just a one time thing, or is it necessary to take t off of the round of cheese.
Thanks
It’s not necessary to remove it, I usually don’t because I don’t want to take the time but I also don’t usually eat it – I just scoop around it.
Could I use regular pie crust instead of puff pastry, or would it not turn out well?
You would get a different taste and texture with it.
Just a little confused about the baking…Is it 3400 degrees or 400 degrees?
Marilynn, Sorry for the typo The correct temperature is 400 Degrees. I don’t know of any ovens that actually bake at 3400 degrees 🙂
Such a clever idea Leigh Anne!
This is awesome!! What a cute idea for Halloween!
