Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 8 oz wheel of brie
  • 1/4 cup fig jam
  • 1/4 cup pistachios roughly chopped
  • 1 egg
  • crackers, toasted baguette, fig crisps, apple slices for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out puff pastry onto a cutting board and cut off a few inches from one end to create a square.
  • Place the wheel of brie in the center of the puff pastry square. Top brie with fig jam, then chopped pistachios.
  • Fold each corner of the puff pastry in over the brie. Tuck in any pieces of puff pastry that may be sticking out. Brush the entire outside of the puff pastry with egg wash.
  • Place the wrapped brie onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Bake the brie at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown. Place baked brie on a serving plate with toasted baguette, crackers and other accompaniments.

Notes

Tips
  • Ensure your puff pastry has fully defrosted but is not too soft or it will be difficult to roll out, cut and fold.
  • Make sure to pinch the corners of the puff pastry down when folding them in to prevent it from coming undone. If one corner unfolds during baking, just deflate some of the air from the pastry and gently press it back down.
  • Allow the baked brie to cool at least 5 minutes before cutting open. This will allow the brie time to cool enough so it isn't completely liquid (this will make it easier to dip and spread).
  • It might be a good idea to cut into the baked brie to get guests started. Be sure to leave one or two cheese knives so guests can spread the brie onto their toast and crackers.
