Roll out the crescent dough sheet on a cutting board.

Cut the rolled dough in half with a knife.

Place one half of the dough on a nonstick baking sheet.

Remove the wrapping from the brie cheese and place it in the center of the dough.

Lay the second half of the dough on top of the brie and stretch it to cover completely.

Pinch the seams to seal the dough around the brie.

Fold the edges of the dough over the top of the brie as much as possible.

Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk it to create an egg wash.

Brush the top and sides of the dough with the egg wash using a brush.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the wrapped brie in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, checking around 15 minutes to ensure it doesn't brown too much.

Remove the baked brie from the oven when golden brown and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Carefully move the baked brie to a serving platter.

Cut into the brie with a knife or cheese knife, serving it with crackers and fruit.
