Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces brie
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 3 tablespoons jam fig or your favorite
- 1 large egg beaten lightly
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts
- Fresh rosemary or thyme
- Crackers grapes, apples, and bread slices for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Unwrap the round of brie and cut the top of the wheel off to expose the cheese inside.
- Roll out the puff pastry slightly.
- Place the brie in the center of the puff pastry.
- Cover the top of the brie with the jam.
- Carefully wrap the puff pastry up and over the brie.
- Place in an oven safe baking dish.
- Brush with the beaten egg.
- Sprinkle it with brown sugar and nuts.
- Place the fresh herbs around the cheese.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown.
- Remove and place on a serving tray.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes or the cheese will be very hot.
- Garnish with fresh herbs.
- Serve with crackers, grapes, apples, and bread slices.
Notes
- If using a smaller dish, try lining it with parchment paper to make it easier to transfer to a serving platter. A small cast iron skillet works well too.
- Try either a full wheel of brie or a smaller wedge, depending on your preference.
- Before baking, allow the brie to reach room temperature.
- Leave the top of the brie intact and simply make hashmarks on it using a sharp knife.
- If you prefer a savory twist, consider serving it with toppings like tomato bacon jam or caramelized onions.
- Garnish with herbs like fresh thyme.
- Use any excess dough to make shapes with a cookie cutter and decorate the outside of the pastry.
- Substitute crescent roll dough, or phyllo dough for the sheet of puff pastry.
