There is something inherently gratifying about a cheese course, one that combines soft brie cheese with sweet fruit and crunchy, toasted nuts. This elegant dish hides a mouthwatering mixture of flavors and makes a delicious appetizer or lunch, or wholly satisfying and truly unique dessert.

Baked Brie in Puff Pastry with Figs, Honey and Pistachios
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)
Loading...Ingredients
- 1 cheese brie (I used ILE DE France 13.2 oz.)
- 1 pack of puff pastry, thawed if frozen
- 5-6 fresh figs, quartered
- 2-3 Tbsp. honey
- toasted pistachios for garnish
- fresh sage for garnish
- 1 egg for glaze
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F.
On a floured surface, roll out the pastry. Put the cheese into the center and bring the edges over to enclose the brie. Place on a baking sheet and gently glaze with beaten egg and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Spoon the figs and honey over the baked brie, sprinkle the pistachios and serve warm.
Notes
Fresh figs, either purple or white, should be perfectly ripe, but not mushy.

August 7, 2013 at 5:19 amI love brie ever since I tasted it and one of my good friend made this one Christmas years ago and I got addicted. This is so dangerous as I can eat the entire thing if I'm allowed. 😉 Your presentation is beautiful and I need to remember to make this from your site next time I do this!
