Description
A gourmet appetizer featuring creamy brie wrapped in flaky puff pastry, topped with figs, prosciutto, and honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 wheel of brie cheese (e.g., Delice de Bourgogne)
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
- 3–4 figs (fresh or dried)
- Honey (to taste)
- 5–6 slices of prosciutto
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Place the wheel of brie in the center of the pastry.
- Top the brie with sliced figs and drizzle generously with honey.
- Wrap the puff pastry around the brie, sealing it well and trimming any excess pastry.
