Ingredients
Scale
- 2 small wheels of brie cheese, 8 ounces each
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tbsp honey (1 tbsp per brie)
- 4 tbsp fig jam (2 tbsp per brie)
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
- 1 tbsp sugar, for coating
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a cast iron skillet or baking sheet with butter or line it with parchment paper.
- Place brie onto the middle of the puff pastry. Halve the puff pastry around each brie, leaving enough excess to wrap the top. Cut a small cross on top of the brie.
- Add honey, fig jam, a sprig of thyme, and a sprinkle of cracked pepper on top of each wheel of cheese.
- Fold the pastry edges over each brie and gently press to seal. Place the assembled brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Garnish with thyme and serve immediately with crackers or toasted baguette slices while warm and melty with an extra drizzle of honey if you like.
Notes
- Let the puff pastry thaw fully in the fridge before use to prevent cracking.
- You can use just one large brie if preferred—adjust the baking time slightly.
- For extra richness, add chopped nuts inside before wrapping.
