I love using raisins for a naturally sweet flavor that pairs well with the brie. Not using additional sweeteners means I don’t have to feel as guilty at the dessert table. The pecans give a light crunch and the maple syrup melts into the cheese adding a little extra sticky goodness.
If I’m carrying this to another location, I’ll prepare it ahead of time and then bake at the new location when I get there.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough
- 1 small wheel brie cheese (8 ounces)
- 1/2 cup California raisins
- 1 Tablespoon rum
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons water
Instructions
Set puff pastry on a lightly floured cutting board to thaw according to package directions.
Place raisins in a small bowl and add rum. Stir just to mix. Let sit until ready to use.
Once pastry dough is thawed, transfer dough to a parchment lined baking sheet. If there are any splits or cracks in the pastry dough be sure to mend them by lightly pinching dough back together.
Place Brie wheel in center of dough.
Drain any excess liquid from raisins then place raisins on top of cheese. Add pecans then drizzle with maple syrup.
Carefully fold up sides of pastry and fold over top of cheese.
Whisk egg yolk and water together then brush top and sides of pastry with egg wash.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 22-25 minutes, until pastry if golden brown and flaky on the outside.
Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving dish. Serve with crackers and fresh fruit.
