This Layered Phyllo Pastry with Brie is a stunning and simple dish that combines flaky pastry with the creamy richness of Brie cheese. The drizzle of honey and crunch of walnuts create a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, while the fresh thyme adds a fragrant touch.
- Ingredients:
- 1 package phyllo dough (about 12 sheets), thawed
- 8 oz Brie cheese, rind removed and sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay the phyllo dough sheets on a clean surface. Brush each sheet lightly with melted butter and layer it on top of the previous sheet. Repeat until you have about 6-8 layers of phyllo dough.
- Place the Brie slices in the center of the layered phyllo dough. Drizzle with honey and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle chopped walnuts and fresh thyme leaves over the Brie.
- Fold the edges of the phyllo dough over the cheese, creating a rustic, open parcel. You can fold the corners in to form a square or pleat the edges for a more elegant look.
- Brush the top of the pastry with more melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
