Serving Size: 10

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 8 Ounces (oz) Brie cheese, sliced
• 0.25 Cups sliced almonds
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) honey
• 1 Large egg, whisked
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) fresh thyme leaves
• 1 Pinch sea salt

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Slice the Brie cheese in half horizontally to create two flat wheels.
3. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to ensure it will fully encase the Brie. Place the bottom half of the Brie, rind side down, onto the center of the pastry.
4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the Brie and sprinkle with sliced almonds and fresh thyme leaves, if using.
5. Place the top half of the Brie, rind side up, over the almonds. Drizzle the remaining honey over the top.
6. Carefully wrap the puff pastry around the Brie, folding and pinching the edges to seal completely. Brush the pastry with the whisked egg to ensure a golden finish.
7. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for added flavor.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
9. Allow the baked Brie to cool for 5 minutes before serving. This will help the cheese set slightly and make it easier to slice.
10. Serve warm with your choice of crackers or sliced crusty bread. Enjoy the delightful combination of creamy, nutty, and sweet flavors.
