Ingredients
- 1 wheel of brie cheese (8 oz)
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Fresh thyme for garnish (optional)
- Crackers or sliced baguette for serving
Directions
Step 1: Preheat the oven.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the brie.
Place the wheel of brie in the center of the thawed puff pastry sheet. Drizzle about half of the honey over the top, then sprinkle the walnuts evenly.
Step 3: Wrap the brie.
Fold the puff pastry over the brie, making sure to seal all edges tightly. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish as it bakes.
Step 4: Bake the brie.
Transfer the wrapped brie to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 5: Serve with extra honey.
Drizzle the remaining honey over the baked brie and top with fresh thyme if desired. Serve with crackers or sliced baguette for dipping.
