Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) wheel brie cheese, cold
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1/4 cup fig jam
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the cold brie wheel in the center of the thawed puff pastry sheet.
- Brush the edges of the pastry lightly with the beaten egg wash.
- Fold the pastry up and over the brie, sealing the edges tightly to fully enclose the cheese. Trim any excess pastry. Place the wrapped brie, seam-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the entire surface of the pastry package with the remaining egg wash.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove the baked brie from the oven. Immediately spoon the fig jam evenly over the top center of the pastry. Sprinkle with chopped fresh rosemary.
- Let the baked brie rest for 5 minutes before serving warm with crackers or sliced baguette for dipping.
Notes
- For a crispier pastry, chill the wrapped brie for 15 minutes before baking.
- You can substitute fig jam with raspberry preserves or honey for different sweet and savory flavor profiles.
- If you skip the pastry, bake the brie directly in an oven-safe dish for about 10-15 minutes until soft.
