Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly to remove any creases and make it big enough to wrap around the Brie.
Place the wheel of Brie in the center of the puff pastry.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the top of the Brie.
Scatter the toasted pecans evenly over the honey on top of the Brie.
Fold the puff pastry over the top of the Brie, bringing each corner to the center and pinching to seal the dough edges together. Trim any excess pastry if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the entire puff pastry bundle with the egg wash to ensure a golden brown finish.
Place the wrapped Brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to ensure the cheese is enjoyable and doesn't run as soon as it's cut.
Serve with sliced apples, pears, or crackers for dipping.
