Description
This baked brie wrapped in puff pastry with fig jam and pistachios is an elegant and easy appetizer, perfect for parties or holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 (8-ounce) wheel Brie cheese
- 1/4 cup fig jam
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out seams.
- Spread fig jam on top of the Brie wheel, then press pistachios into the jam.
- Place the Brie in the center of the puff pastry. Fold the pastry up and over the Brie, pinching seams to seal completely.
- Place wrapped Brie seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush all over with beaten egg.
- Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 20-25 minutes.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette.
Notes
For a variation, try using apricot jam or honey instead of fig jam. You can also add fresh rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
