Ingredients
  

  • 1 frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed according to package directions
  • 1 8-ounce triple cream Brie cheese round, or double cream (*if can’t find triple-cream)
  • 1/3 cup fig jam or fig spread
  • 1/4 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
  • 6 - 9 individual fresh cranberries, optional, see Notes
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons honey, or hot honey, optional
  • Crackers, for serving
  • Toasted baguette slices, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Lay the puff pastry on a cutting board, lightly dusted with all-purpose flour if it is sticky. Roll the pastry out to 10x10” square.
  • Place the brie in the center of the puff pastry. Using a sharp knife, score the top rind in two directions to make a diamond design (see photo).
  • Spread the fig mixture over the top of the cheese.
  • If using the fresh cranberries, press them into the jam, spacing them out across the top.
  • Sprinkle the nuts on top of the fig mixture.
  • Bring one corner of the puff pastry up over the top. Continue around the brie, bringing the puff pastry up and over, wrapping the entire pastry around the brie, enclosing it completely if possible, similar to wrapping the dough for a galette.
  • If the corners are long enough on the top, you may squeeze them together and twist slightly to keep the puff pastry closed.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the water until it is completely incorporated and a thin consistency, no “clumps” of egg. Brush the puff pastry’s top and sides.
  • Using a flat spatula, move the puff pastry to the parchment paper.
  • If the puff pastry has become room temperature, place it in the refrigerator for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed and a beautiful, golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and use a large, thin spatula to transfer it to a serving plate/board. Drizzle with honey if desired.
  • Serve with a knife for cutting into and spreading onto crackers, etc.

Notes

Don’t go buy a whole bag of cranberries if this is the only recipe you will use them in. I just like the few dotted cranberries that soften and add a little pop to the filling of this pastry.
