Brie Fig Puff Pastry (Printable Version)
Buttery pastry around melty brie, fig, and honey. It's the sweet and salty bite everyone's into.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
Chopped walnuts or pecans (if you like)
02 -
Coarse sugar for sprinkling (totally optional)
03 -
1 egg, whisked
04 -
Black pepper, as much as you want
05 -
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
06 -
1–2 tablespoons fig preserves
07 -
1–2 tablespoons honey
08 -
1 sheet of thawed frozen puff pastry
09 -
1 whole brie cheese wheel (225–340 g)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Let it rest for about five minutes. Then go ahead and serve with sliced fresh fruit, baguette, or a bunch of crackers.
02 -
Pop in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Pull it out once everything looks golden and crispy.
03 -
Paint your whole pastry with the beaten egg. Throw on some coarse sugar if you like it a little sparkly.
04 -
Grab the pastry and fold it over the cheese. Make sure all the edges stick together real tight.
05 -
Cut a crosshatch into the brie’s top. Slather on fig preserves, a good drizzle of honey, scatter thyme, and shake on some black pepper. Toss in nuts now if you’re going for it.
06 -
On a lightly floured counter, roll out the thawed pastry. Plop the brie wheel right in the middle.
07 -
Turn your oven on to 220°C. Toss a sheet of parchment paper on your baking tray.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Add more honey if you want it super sweet.
02 -
Best served warm when the flavors and melty center hit just right.
03 -
You can prep this early, stash it, then bake when it’s time to eat.
