Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 sheet frozen prepared puff pastry, thawed
  • all purpose flour, for rolling
  • 1 round brie cheese (about 8-12 ounces)
  • 1 large egg, whisked
  • 2-4 tablespoons fig jam
  • 1/2 cup caramelized onion (recipe below)
  • Baguette slices or crackers, for serving
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 yellow onions, finely sliced
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
  • Dust a work surface with a small amount of flour. Unwrap the puff pastry and place it on the flour. Coat a rolling pin with a little flour and roll out the puff pastry into a rough 11-inch square.
  • Wrap the brie in the pastry. Place the round of brie in the middle of the pastry. Top with the fig jam and caramelized onions. Fold the corners over the brie, forming a neat package. Use your hand to gently press the edges against the brie and neaten up the sides. Transfer the wrapped brie to the baking sheet and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • Brush the pastry all over with the beaten egg and then transfer to the oven. Bake until the pastry is deep golden-brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This gives the hot cheese time to firm up a little. Serve warm. Arrange sliced baguette or crackers around the brie and serve while warm
