Converted amounts are rounded.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet and place it on the parchment. Spread the fig jam in a circle about the size of the brie in the center of the pastry. Place the brie on top of the jam. Score the top of the brie in a crosshatch pattern and insert small rosemary sprigs into some of the cuts.
- Fold the corners of the puff pastry up over the brie, leaving the center exposed. Press the pastry firmly to seal, so only the middle of the cheese is uncovered.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water. Brush the puff pastry with this egg wash.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown, about 20 to 22 minutes.
💡 Tips
- For a neat finish, chill the assembled brie for 10 minutes before baking to help the pastry hold its shape.
- Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.
- If using frozen puff pastry, thaw it according to package instructions before starting.
