Ingredients
- 1 large wheel of Brie cheese
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup of caramelized onions
- 1/4 cup of chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 egg, beaten
- Fresh thyme for garnish
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to remove any creases. Place the Brie in the center of the pastry.
Spread caramelized onions over the top of the Brie. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and chopped pecans for added texture and flavor. Drizzle honey over the toppings for a touch of sweetness.
Fold the puff pastry over the Brie, trimming any excess dough. Pinch the edges to seal completely. Brush the outside with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
Place the wrapped Brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Serving Suggestions
Let the baked Brie rest for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves. Serve warm with sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
This Modern American-inspired Baked Brie offers a perfect blend of savory, sweet, and crunchy elements. Its modern twist makes it a standout appetizer for any occasion.
