Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 10 ounce brie cheese wheel 8-12 ounces
  • 1/3 cup fig jam see notes for other jam options
  • 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
  • 1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water
  • Fruit, crackers, or crostini for serving
  • Rosemary or thyme sprigs for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Gently roll out puff pastry to 10-12” square. Place the brie wheel in the center of the pastry sheet, spread with jam on top of the brie, top with walnuts.
  • Make a cut at each corner of the puff pastry, towards the center down to about ½” from the brie, so there are now 4 triangular pieces. Bring each of the corners up and over the brie, like a pinwheel, and secure together, brushing the seams with egg wash.. Place the brie in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Brush brie all over with the egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes. Serve with fruits, nuts, crackers and bread.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize with your favorite flavor of jam or type of nuts. 
  • I highly recommending toasting the nuts for more flavor.
  • Placing the wrapped brie in the fridge before baking helps to ensure that the cheese doesn't melt too fast during baking. Don't skip this step!
  • To make ahead: Wrap the brie in the puff pastry, and wrap with plastic wrap, store in the fridge for up to 3 hours. Add the egg wash just before baking.
  • Storage and Reheating: This dish is best eaten fresh, as the quality is diminished during storage and reheating. Store leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 2 days. If you are determined to reheat it, it would be best reheated in a 400℉ oven.
