Ingredients
- Brie Cheese: 1 wheel (250 grams)
- Puff Pastry: 1 sheet, thawed
- Honey: 2 tablespoons
- Dried Cherries: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Pecans: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Fresh Rosemary: 1 teaspoon, finely chopped
- Egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash)
- Crackers or Sliced Baguette: For serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Bake: Place the wrapped brie on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
