Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 wheel (8–12 oz) Brie Room temperature
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed About 8x8–9x9 inches
  • 3–4 slices prosciutto Thinly sliced
  • 2–3 tablespoons fig jam Or chopped fresh/dried figs soaked in a splash of warm water
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey Plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 egg beaten For egg wash
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or flaky salt Optional
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs For garnish, optional
  • to taste Crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices For serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll out any fold lines.
  3. Place the Brie in the center of the pastry and score the top lightly with a knife (optional).
  4. Spread the fig jam over the Brie and drizzle with honey.
  5. Drape prosciutto slices over the Brie.
  6. Fold the pastry up and around the Brie, sealing seams. Flip seam-side down.
  7. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20–30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden. Check at 20 minutes.
  2. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving, then drizzle with more honey and garnish.

Notes

Room-temperature Brie melts best. Use leftovers for a refreshing meal, and refrigerate up to 2 days. The recipe is versatile: swap figs for apricots or skip prosciutto for a vegetarian option.
