Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 8 ounces brie cheese wheel
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 cup fig jam
- 1 teaspoon rosemary, minced
- 3 tablespoons gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Thaw the puff pastry sheet by leaving it on the countertop for approximately 40 minutes.
- Prepare a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then unfold the puff pastry onto it. Place the brie wheel at the center of the pastry and add honey, fig jam, minced rosemary, and gorgonzola on top.
- Fold the corners of the puff pastry towards the center to enclose the filling. Use a little water if necessary to help the pastry stick together. Fold in the corners again to completely secure the brie inside.
- In a small bowl, mix the egg and water together. Brush the egg wash over the outer surface of the pastry with a pastry brush.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-24 minutes, or until the puff pastry turns golden brown and glossy.
- After baking, transfer the Baked Brie to a serving platter. Serve warm alongside crackers, baguettes, crostini, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed for easy handling.
You can replace gorgonzola with another cheese if you prefer a milder flavor.
For an extra touch, sprinkle some crushed nuts on top before serving.
