# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Cheese & Dairy
01 - 1 wheel (8 oz) Brie cheese
02 - 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
→ Condiments
03 - 3 tablespoons fig jam

04 - 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen
→ Garnish (optional)
05 - 2 tablespoons chopped toasted walnuts or pecans
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
07 - Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place thawed puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Center the Brie wheel on the pastry.
03 - Spread fig jam evenly over the top surface of the Brie wheel.
04 - If desired, sprinkle chopped toasted nuts and fresh thyme leaves over the fig jam.
05 - Fold the pastry up and over the Brie, pleating as needed to completely enclose the cheese. Pinch seams firmly to seal.
06 - Brush the pastry exterior with the beaten egg to promote a golden, glossy crust.
07 - Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.
08 - Allow the pastry-wrapped Brie to rest for 10 minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette.
