Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of all-butter puff pastry, thawed
- 1 wheel of ripe Brie cheese
- Honey, for drizzling
- 1 large egg, for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon water or milk, for egg wash
- Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts
- Optional: dried cranberries or finely chopped apricots
- Optional: fresh thyme or rosemary
- Optional: fresh black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare your egg wash by whisking one large egg with a tablespoon of water or milk in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and cut it into even squares, about 4×4 inches.
- Cut the Brie into wedges or slices, aiming for pieces that are roughly 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
- Place one Brie wedge in the center of each puff pastry square. Add any optional ingredients on top of the Brie if desired.
- Bring the four corners of the pastry square up and over the Brie, pinching the edges together to seal them securely.
- Transfer the assembled parcels to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops and sides with the egg wash.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the Brie is melted and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute or two before drizzling warm honey over each parcel. Serve warm.
