Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sheets phyllo dough sheets
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 wedge (approximately 8 oz) baby Brie wedge
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the phyllo dough out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes. Cover the dough with a clean, damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and lightly brush it with melted butter. Layer another sheet of phyllo dough on top and brush with more butter. Repeat the process until all 6 sheets are layered, brushing each with butter.
Place the baby Brie wedge in the center of the layered phyllo dough. Drizzle the honey over the top of the Brie and sprinkle with chopped walnuts or pecans.
Fold the phyllo sheets over the Brie, one corner at a time, to create a neat package. Brush the top and sides of the wrapped Brie with any remaining melted butter to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the egg wash over the phyllo-wrapped Brie for a golden finish.
Carefully transfer the wrapped Brie to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optional: Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness and a decorative look.
Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh fruit for dipping.
