Description
Warm pastry gives way to oozing brie drizzled with honey, bright thyme, and crisp walnuts. This cozy appetizer invites you to break through golden layers and dip into melty, nutty sweetness straight from the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 8 oz brie cheese
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a square large enough to wrap the brie.
- Place the brie wheel in the center of the pastry and drizzle the honey over the top.
- Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves and chopped walnuts evenly over the honey.
- Fold the pastry edges up over the brie, pressing to seal and tucking any excess underneath.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water, then brush the pastry surface for a golden finish.
- Transfer the wrapped brie to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter glaze, add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the honey before drizzling.
- Serve with sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh fruit.
- Brie is at its creamiest when served warm, so enjoy promptly.
- You can substitute walnuts with pecans or slivered almonds for a different crunch.
