Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized (8 oz) wheel of brie cheese
• 1 sheet (thawed) store-bought puff pastry
• 0.25 cup apricot preserves
• 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzle)
• 1 assortment crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet until it is large enough to fully wrap the brie wheel.

Step 3

Place the brie wheel in the center of the puff pastry sheet.

Step 4

Spread the apricot preserves evenly over the top of the brie.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the preserves for a crunchy texture.

Step 6

Gently fold the puff pastry over the brie, gathering the edges to seal it completely. Trim any excess dough if necessary, and press the edges to ensure a secure seal.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush the egg wash over the wrapped puff pastry to give it a glossy finish.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the wrapped brie to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove the baked brie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Optional: Drizzle honey over the top of the baked brie for added sweetness.

Step 13

Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh fruit for dipping!
