Baked Brie in Puff Pastry with Honey & Walnuts

A golden puff pastry wrapped around a wheel of creamy brie, baked until melty and topped with honey and toasted walnuts.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 wheel (8 oz) brie cheese
  • 3 tablespoons honey, plus more for serving
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, roughly chopped and toasted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Crackers, baguette slices, or apple wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a large square, big enough to fully wrap the brie wheel.
  3. Place the brie wheel in the center of the pastry. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the top and sprinkle with half the toasted walnuts and the rosemary, if using.
  4. Fold the edges of the pastry up and over the brie, pleating as needed, and pinch tightly at the top to seal completely.
  5. Flip the wrapped brie seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush all over with the beaten egg wash.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is deep golden brown and puffed.
  7. Let the baked brie rest for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to a serving plate — this allows the cheese to set slightly so it doesn’t run out completely when cut.
  8. Drizzle with the remaining honey and top with the remaining toasted walnuts. Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or apple wedges.

Notes

Let the puff pastry stay cold until you’re ready to wrap the brie — if it gets too soft, chill the wrapped wheel in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking so it holds its shape. Resist cutting into it right away; a short rest keeps the melted center from spilling out too fast.
