Ingredients
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 (8 ounce) round brie cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 egg, beaten
Crackers, crostini, apple slices, for serving

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the thawed puff
pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Note-the puff pastry will take about 40 minutes to
thaw. Read package instructions.
2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the pecans and cinnamon and heat
until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately pour
pecans into a small bowl. Add the brown sugar and stir until combined. It is ok if the brown
sugar melts a little.
3. Place brie round in the middle of the puff pastry. The rind is edible, so I don’t cut it off. It
helps hold the shape of the brie. If you want to remove it, you can use a sharp knife to
carefully cut off the thin top rind of the cheese. This is easier to do when the brie is cold.
4. Pour pure maple syrup over the top of the brie round. Place the toasted pecan and brown
sugar mixture on top of brie. Gently press so it stays on top of the brie.
5. Fold one edge of the puff pastry dough over the brie and brush the top with egg wash, using
a pastry brush. Fold up the opposite side then brush top dough with egg wash. Repeat with
remaining edges until the brie is completely covered in the puff pastry, trimming off excess
dough edges if necessary. You can use excess dough to make decorations to place on top of
brie, if desired. Press the dough together to make sure it sealed tightly. Brush the top and
sides of the wrapped brie with egg wash.

6. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the pastry is a golden brown. Remove from the oven and
let the brie sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
7. Place the brie on a serving platter and serve warm with crackers, crostini, and/or apple slices.
