Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 8 ounces brie cheese wheel
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 cup fig jam
- 1 teaspoon rosemary minced
- 3 tablespoons gorgonzola cheese crumbled
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Defrost a puff pastry sheet by removing it from its packaging and laying on the countertop for about 40 minutes.
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper, then unfold the puff pastry and place it on top. Put the Brie wheel into the center of the puff pastry, then top with the honey, fig jam, minced rosemary, and gorgonzola crumbles.
- Gently fold each of the four corners of the puff pastry into the center, containing all the ingredients. Brush with a little water when needed to make the puff pastry stay in place, then gently fold each of the four corners in again until you've secured the pastry around the brie.
- Beat the egg and water in a small bowl, then use a pastry brush to brush the outside of the pastry with the egg wash.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-24 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and shiny.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and place the Baked Brie on a serving dish or large plate. Serve warm with crackers, baguettes, crostini, or fruit. Enjoy!

Reheating: preheat your oven to 300 degrees F, then transfer to a baking dish and cover with foil. Warm just long enough to melt the cheese.
