Prosciutto Wrapped Peach Baked Brie in Pastry

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it combines sweet, savory, creamy, and buttery flavors into one irresistible appetizer. The Brie becomes wonderfully soft and melty as it bakes, while the peaches add natural sweetness and the prosciutto brings a delicious salty contrast. I also appreciate how simple it is to prepare ahead of time and bake just before serving.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 wheel Brie cheese (8 ounces)
• 4 to 6 slices prosciutto
• 1 ripe peach, thinly sliced
• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 1 tablespoon peach preserves
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• Honey, for drizzling (optional)
• Crackers, crostini, or sliced baguette, for serving

Directions

1. I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. I roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is large enough to wrap around the Brie.
3. I spread the peach preserves over the top of the Brie.
4. I arrange the peach slices over the preserves and sprinkle on the thyme leaves.
5. If I’m using nuts, I scatter them over the peaches.
6. I wrap the prosciutto slices around the Brie, covering the peach layer as evenly as possible.
7. I place the wrapped Brie in the center of the puff pastry and fold the pastry up and over the cheese, sealing the edges underneath.
8. I whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash, then brush it over the entire pastry.
9. I bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.
10. I let the baked Brie rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
11. If I like a touch of extra sweetness, I drizzle the top with honey and serve it warm with crackers, crostini, or sliced baguette.

Servings and Timing

• Cook Time: 30 minutes
• Rest Time: 10 minutes

Variations

• I substitute nectarines, apricots, or fresh figs for the peaches when they are in season.
• I use fig jam or apricot preserves instead of peach preserves for a different flavor.
• I add chopped pistachios or almonds for extra crunch.
• I sprinkle fresh rosemary instead of thyme for a more earthy flavor.
• I finish the baked Brie with a drizzle of hot honey for a sweet and spicy twist.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover baked Brie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat it, I place it in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the pastry is crisp again and the cheese is warmed through. I avoid using the microwave whenever possible because it can make the pastry soft. If I have leftover slices, I also enjoy them cold or gently warmed on toasted bread.

FAQs

Can I assemble this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I assemble the wrapped Brie several hours in advance and keep it refrigerated. I brush on the egg wash just before baking for the best golden finish.

Can I use crescent roll dough instead of puff pastry?

Yes. I use crescent roll dough when I want a softer, slightly less flaky crust, and it bakes beautifully around the Brie.

Do I need to remove the rind from the Brie?

No. I leave the rind on because it is completely edible and helps the cheese hold its shape while baking.

What should I serve with baked Brie?

I enjoy serving it with crackers, toasted baguette slices, apple slices, grapes, pears, or a charcuterie board for a complete appetizer spread.

Can I use canned peaches?

Yes. I can use canned peaches if fresh peaches aren’t available. I make sure to drain and pat them dry well so they don’t add excess moisture to the pastry.

Conclusion

I enjoy making this Prosciutto Wrapped Peach Baked Brie in Pastry because it combines flaky pastry, creamy Brie, sweet peaches, and savory prosciutto into an appetizer that feels both elegant and comforting. The rich flavors and beautiful presentation make it perfect for holidays, celebrations, or casual gatherings. Whether I serve it as the centerpiece of an appetizer table or alongside a charcuterie board, it always earns rave reviews.
