Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 wheel (8 oz) brie cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: cranberry sauce or fig jam for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a large circle about 12 inches in diameter.
- Place the brie wheel in the center of the pastry.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture over the pastry, reserving some for topping.
- Cut the pastry into strips about 1 inch wide around the brie in a sunburst pattern, leaving the center circle intact under the brie.
- Twist each strip gently and fold it over the edges of the brie to create a wreath shape.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pastry.
- Brush the entire pastry wreath with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the brie is melted inside.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm with optional cranberry sauce or fig jam.
