In a large nonstick pan, saute mushrooms, and onion in the olive oil.
Cook until onion is translucent and mushrooms are soft.
Add the wine, stir well and simmer until the liquid cooks off. Remove from heat.
Season with thyme, then salt and pepper to taste.

Measure mozzarella cheese and cream cheese into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat - 30-45 seconds at a time - until cheese has melted.
Measure remaining ingredients into a food processor - except the egg - blitz to combine.
Add the egg, blitz once more to fully combine.
Add melted cheese to the food processor, pulse until well combined - you don’t want to see any sections of unmixed cheese.

Preheat oven to 400 F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut as much rind off the cheese as you like - We tend to fully trim it, others will just cut the top off.
Roll the pastry dough out between sheets of parchment paper, aiming to make it a circle about 12" in diameter.
Place on prepared baking sheet.
Spoon half of the cooked mushroom mixture in the center of the dough, top with the trimmed brie wheel. If you only cut the top off, place it cut side up.
Top with the remaining mushroom filling, mounding slightly in the center.
Loosely fold in the ends of the dough to the center, overlapping for a loose seal.
Whisk the egg and 1 teaspoon water together in a small bowl, brush all over exposed surface of the dough.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until desired level of golden.
Serve hot, with your choice of keto vegetables, Keto Tortilla Chips and/or Crunchy Keto Crackers. (See post for links to those recipes!)

Leftovers:

Keto Brie en Croute is definitely best served fresh from the oven.

If you have leftovers, allow them to cool to room temperature, then wrap in plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container.

Will keep good for 3+ days in the fridge - reheat before serving!
