Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to wrap around the Brie.
- Spread the peach preserves over the top of the Brie.
- Arrange the peach slices over the preserves and sprinkle with the thyme leaves.
- Scatter the chopped pecans or walnuts over the peaches if using.
- Wrap the prosciutto slices around the Brie, covering the peach layer as evenly as possible.
- Place the wrapped Brie in the center of the puff pastry and fold the pastry over the cheese, sealing the edges underneath.
- Whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash, then brush it over the pastry.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.
- Let the baked Brie rest for about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle with honey if desired and serve warm with crackers, crostini, or sliced baguette.
Notes
- Substitute nectarines, apricots, or fresh figs for the peaches when in season.
- Use fig jam or apricot preserves instead of peach preserves for a different flavor.
- Add chopped pistachios or almonds for extra crunch.
- Replace thyme with fresh rosemary for a more earthy flavor.
- Drizzle with hot honey for a sweet and spicy finish.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes until warmed through and crisp.
