Description
A show-stopping appetizer featuring creamy brie wrapped in flaky puff pastry, topped with honey, sweet figs, and salty prosciutto. Perfect for entertaining.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 (8-ounce) wheel brie cheese
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 3 dried figs, stemmed and chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey, plus more for drizzling
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to a 12×12-inch square. Cut off corners to form a rough circle.
- Place the brie wheel in the center of the pastry. Top with prosciutto slices, then sprinkle chopped figs over the prosciutto. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons honey.
- Fold the pastry edges up and over the brie, pleating and pinching to seal tightly. Brush the entire pastry with beaten egg.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with additional honey and garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired. Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette.
Notes
You can substitute fresh figs when in season. For a vegetarian version, omit the prosciutto and add a handful of chopped toasted walnuts.
