Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1 wheel of Brie cheese (about 8 oz)
- 4–6 slices of prosciutto
- 1/4 cup fig jam or fresh figs, sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a size that will fully wrap the Brie wheel. Place the Brie in the center.
- Layer with Prosciutto: Lay the prosciutto slices over the top of the Brie, overlapping them slightly.
- Add Figs: Spread a thin layer of fig jam on top of the prosciutto or arrange fresh fig slices on top.
- Wrap the Brie: Fold the corners of the puff pastry over the Brie, enclosing it completely. Seal the edges by pressing the pastry together.
- Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the surface of the puff pastry for a golden, glossy finish.
- Bake: Place the wrapped Brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Drizzle honey over the top and garnish with fresh rosemary if desired. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought fig jam or fresh figs depending on availability.
- For a different flavor, try adding a touch of balsamic vinegar over the figs before wrapping.
- Serve with sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh fruits for dipping.
