Pull the edges of the puff pastry up and over to the center of the Brie. Trim the excess pastry and press to seal.
Step Four: Make a Mummy

Turn the wrapped Brie over so the cherry-pecan layer is on top of the Brie. In a small bowl, combine the egg and water. Brush the top of the pastry-wrapped Brie with egg wash. Using a pizza wheel or a sharp knife, cut the second sheet of puff pastry into sheets about 3/4-inch wide. Lay strips of puff pastry across the Brie in a crisscross pattern, brushing with egg wash after each strip is applied. Leave a small space between the strips and press two cherries into the pastry to form the mummy's "eyes."
Step Five: Bake and Serve

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top of the mummy is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes before serving. Serve with crackers, apple slices, and grapes for scooping up the Brie.
