Jammy Potato Pancake Brie Bake

This Jammy Potato Pancake Brie Bake is the ultimate gooey, crispy, cheesy delight. Brace yourself. This recipe is about to change your life. Or at least your snack game. It’s crispy, it’s gooey, it’s sweet, and it’s downright addictive. And the best part? It’s ridiculously easy to make.

The magic starts with potato pancakes. I made my own because I like to pretend I’m fancy. But let’s be honest—store-bought or frozen ones work just as well. No judgment. Next, grab an 8 oz wheel of brie. You know, that gloriously melty, creamy cheese that makes everything feel like a French bistro. Then, pick your favorite jam. I went with Black Currant because I had two sample jars loitering in my pantry, waiting for a purpose in life. This Jammy Potato Pancake Brie Bake is a perfect excuse to use them.

Assemble your Masterpiece

Now, the assembly. In a casserole dish, layer those crispy potato pancakes, chunks of brie, and delicious dollops of jam. Repeat. Admire your work. Or not. Then, slide it into the oven. Twenty minutes later, you have a bubbling, jammy, potato-y masterpiece. The brie melts into the crispy crevices and the jam adds just the right amount of sweet tang. Furthermore,  the salty crunchy potato pancakes hold everything together.

This Jammy Potato Pancake Brie Bake is a triple threat: an appetizer, a side dish, and a straight-from-the-dish indulgence. Serve it at a fancy gathering, bring it to brunch, or—let’s be real—eat it standing over the stove with a fork. No shame. Also, if you’re out of brie, camembert steps in beautifully. Any runny cheese will do.

This dish proves that fancy can be simple. Because there are no fussy ingredients, no complicated steps—just layers of crispy, creamy, jammy goodness. This recipe is here to make life more delicious. And honestly, isn’t that the dream?
