Make this simple baked brie appetizer wrapped in puff pastry. It features creamy melted cheese topped with sweet fig jam and crunchy pecans, perfect for holiday entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 wheel (8 oz) brie cheese, cold
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/4 cup fig jam
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. If using puff pastry, unfold it on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into a square large enough to completely enclose the brie wheel.
  3. Place the cold brie wheel in the center of the puff pastry square.
  4. Spoon the fig jam evenly over the top surface of the brie wheel. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the jam.
  5. Fold the edges of the puff pastry up and over the brie, sealing the edges tightly to completely encase the cheese. Trim any excess pastry. Place the wrapped brie, seam-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush the entire surface of the pastry with the beaten egg wash.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with honey just before serving.

Notes

  • Serve immediately with crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices for dipping.
  • For a savory variation, replace the jam and pecans with garlic butter and fresh rosemary.
  • If you skip the puff pastry, bake the brie directly in a small oven-safe dish for 10-15 minutes until gooey.
