Ingredients

• 1 (approximately 8 ounces) wheel of Brie cheese
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 tablespoons dried cranberries or raisins
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 1 (thawed if frozen) puff pastry sheet
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Carefully roll out the puff pastry sheet onto a clean, floured surface.

Step 3

Place the wheel of Brie in the center of the puff pastry.

Step 4

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the top of the Brie, spreading it evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans, dried cranberries or raisins, and fresh rosemary evenly over the honey-topped Brie.

Step 6

Fold the puff pastry up and over the Brie, gathering it at the top and pinching to seal the edges tightly. If desired, trim any excess pastry and use it to decorate the top.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush the egg wash generously over the puff pastry to ensure it bakes to a golden-brown finish.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the wrapped Brie to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and flaky.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. This allows the cheese to set slightly, making it less messy when cut.

Step 12

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of honey over the baked Brie right before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 13

Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh fruit. Enjoy!
