Dried Fig, Pistachio and Honey Puff Pastry Baked Brie

Ingredients

    • 1 sheet
      puff pastry, thawed but still cold
    • Flour for dusting 
    • 1
      (8 to 12-ounce) round brie cheese (5- to 7-inches in diameter)
    • 2 tbsp
      fig jam
    • 1
      large egg, beaten
    • 4
      dried California mission figs, quartered
    • 4
      dried California yellow figs quartered 
    • 2 tbsp
      30 ml honey
    • 2 tbsp
      finely chopped U.S. pistachios

Instructions

    1. Set your oven rack in the centre of the oven and preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    2. Lightly dust surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out your puff pastry to an 11 inch square. Carefully transfer to your baking sheet.

    3. Place the Brie wheel in the centre of the puff pastry. Spread the fig jam evenly on top of the wheel.  Fold the pastry over the Brie, forming a closed neat package.  Brush puff pastry with egg ensuring you evenly cover. This will result in a nice golden pastry.

    4. Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden.

    5. Carefully transfer to a serving board or platter. Top with fig quarters, drizzle honey all over and finish with a garnish of pistachios.

    6. Serve immediately with your favourite crackers and extra fig quarters.
