Step 1: Prepare the Cranberry Sauce - Rinse the cranberries under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and jalapeno. Stir over medium heat until cranberries burst and mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 3: Roll Out the Puff Pastry - On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 4: Wrap the Brie - Place the brie in the center of the pastry, spoon the cranberry mixture on top, and fold the pastry edges over the brie, pinching to seal.
Step 5: Brush with Egg Wash - Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry.
Step 6: Bake the Brie - Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy - Let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with toasted baguette slices or crackers.
