Ingredients
For the Brie Wrap:
-
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
-
1 wheel of brie (200–250g), rind on
-
1 egg + 1 tsp milk (for egg wash)
For the Roasted Plums:
-
3 ripe plums, halved and sliced
-
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
-
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
-
Fresh thyme sprigs
-
Pinch of flaky sea salt
-
Cracked black pepper, to taste
Optional Garnish:
-
Extra thyme
-
Drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze
Instructions
1. Roast the Plums 🍑
Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Toss sliced plums with olive oil, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread on a lined baking tray and roast for 15–18 minutes until juicy, soft, and caramelized. Let them cool slightly.
2. Wrap the Brie 🧈
Lay out your puff pastry on parchment paper. Place the whole brie in the center and top with a generous spoonful of the roasted plums (save the rest for garnish). Wrap the pastry up and over the brie to fully enclose it. Seal well and flip so the seam is on the bottom.
3. Bake to Golden Perfection 🔥
Brush the top with egg wash for that golden glow. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 20–25 minutes until puffed and deeply golden. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before cutting in.
4. Garnish & Serve 🌿
Slice into the center to reveal the melty cheese. Top with extra roasted plums, a few thyme sprigs, and a final drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze. Serve warm and gooey.
Notes
-
You can prep the roasted plums ahead and store in the fridge up to 2 days.
-
Try figs or nectarines as a twist if plums aren’t in season.
-
Add crushed walnuts for extra crunch inside the pastry.
