Description
A warm, melty wheel of brie wrapped in golden puff pastry and topped with sweet fig jam, maple glazed pecans, and fresh thyme for the perfect elegant appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 wheel brie cheese, 8 ounces
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tablespoons fig jam
- 1/3 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toast the pecans in a small saucepan over medium heat for 3 minutes, then add maple syrup and cook 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
- Place the puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet and set the brie wheel in the center.
- Spread fig jam over the top of the brie, then add the maple glazed pecans and sprinkle with thyme.
- Fold the puff pastry up and over the brie, pleating as needed, then brush with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Let the baked brie rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Chill the puff pastry before assembling for a crisp and flaky finish.
- Allow the brie to rest before slicing so the cheese does not spill out too quickly.
- Serve with apples, crackers, or toasted bread for variety.
