Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 each 19 oz wheel of brie
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar loosely packed
  • 0.25 cup praline pecans e.g., Fishers
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 large egg beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Thaw puff pastry and prepare baking sheet with parchment.
  • Remove rind from brie, cut into two halves. Roll out pastry into a 14-inch square, then shape into a large circle.

  • Fold pastry over cheese, press edges, flip to smooth side, and brush with egg wash. Garnish with cutouts if desired.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
