  • 1 sheet puff pastry Thawed if frozen
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs Such as rosemary or thyme
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or chopped nuts Optional, add for extra flavor
  • 1 egg for egg wash Beaten for brushing
  • pinch salt and pepper To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your thawed puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Place the wheel of brie in the center of the pastry and sprinkle with fresh herbs, cranberries, or nuts on top.
  4. Fold the pastry over the cheese ensuring not to tear it.
  5. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the pastry.
Baking

  2. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  3. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

If the puff pastry is difficult to roll out, let it rest for 10 minutes. You can also substitute brie with camembert or gouda. Leftovers can be used in salads.
