Cheesy and tasty, this keto baked brie mummy tastes like the ultimate fried mozzarella stick. It’s a fun Halloween snack or appetizer.
Is Brie Cheese Keto
Yes, brie cheese is a fantastic food to eat on the keto diet. There are 8 grams of fat and 0.1 grams net carbs per ounce. If you need a healthy fat boost, you will find it in brie cheese.
This might not be a good cheese for you if you are lactose-intolerant. Brie cheese is a soft cheese that has a white rind. This rind is often difficult to chew and is actually made from natural mold growth.
The rind is completely safe to eat. In fact, it is considered to be a delicacy.
Keto Baked Brie
Most baked brie recipes involve wrapping the brie inside a flaky pie crust, almost like a cheesy hot pocket. I used my favorite fathead dough recipe to make this a keto-friendly recipe.
Fathead dough is a combination of melted mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, egg, and almond flour. The amounts of each ingredient vary, depending on how flaky or dense you want the crust or bread to be.
I used this fathead dough recipe to make keto Hawaiian rolls and the top crust of keto Italian sub casserole. This recipe is perfectly flaky and make the baked brie extra delicious.
Mummy Baked Brie
This mummy baked brie recipe takes a bit of set-up, but it is worth every step. You’ll need to roll out the dough and cut it into strips and then wrap the strips around the brie cheese before you bake it.
This is a sticky dough, so place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper before you try to roll it out with a rolling pin. You can cut the strips of dough with a knife, but I found it was a lot easier to cut it with a pizza cutter.
Here are 20 more homemade Halloween treats for kids. Most of the things on that list are not keto-friendly, but they are definitely fun for the kiddos!
Halloween Brie
This is a really fun recipe to make with your kiddos! They will have a blast wrapping the cheese with the strips of dough. Turn some mini pepperoni slices and olives into the mummy’s eyes.
The brie has so much flavor that you don’t even need a dipping sauce. My kids love dipping things, so I gave them some sugar-free marinara sauce. The mummies are a blast to eat up!
Halloween Appetizer
Make a few different keto baked brie mummies if you are hosting a Halloween party. They are so cute and not at all spooky, so they are perfect to share at parties for kids.
Since baked brie tastes the best when it is hot and melted, I don’t suggest trying to make it ahead of time. You could assemble the mummy with the raw dough, cover it in an airtight container, and then bake it right before the party, to save yourself a bit of time.
