Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 8 ounces) Camembert or Brie wheel
- 1 sheet (thawed if frozen) Puff pastry sheet
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans or almonds)
- 1 tablespoon Dried cranberries (optional)
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to ensure it is evenly flat.
Place the Camembert or Brie wheel in the center of the puff pastry sheet.
Drizzle the honey over the cheese, and sprinkle the chopped nuts and optionally the dried cranberries on top.
Carefully fold the puff pastry around the cheese, making sure it is completely sealed and there are no gaps. Trim any excess pastry if needed, and press gently to secure the edges.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the entire surface of the wrapped bundle with the egg wash to give it a golden and shiny finish when baked.
Place the bundle on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and allow the bundle to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving, as the cheese inside will be very hot.
Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh fruit on the side.
