Ingredients

• 1 round (about 8 oz) vegan brie
• 1 sheet vegan pastry
• 2 tablespoons vegan butter
• 1 cup pecans
• 3 tablespoons vegan honey or agave syrup
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon vegan milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Toast the pecans by adding them to a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes until they are fragrant and slightly darkened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Unroll the vegan pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to gently stretch it if needed, ensuring it's large enough to fully wrap the vegan brie.

Step 4

Place the vegan brie in the center of the pastry sheet.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, melt the vegan butter over low heat. Add the vegan honey or agave syrup, salt, and fresh rosemary. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Drizzle half of this mixture over the top of the vegan brie.

Step 7

Scatter the toasted pecans over the mixture on the brie.

Step 8

Fold the pastry over the brie, sealing the edges to create a packet. If needed, use a bit of water to help seal the pastry.

Step 9

Brush the outside of the pastry with vegan milk to promote golden browning during baking.

Step 10

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 11

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

Step 12

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

Step 13

Drizzle the remaining butter and syrup mixture over the baked pastry before slicing and serving.
