Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry Thawed; use a high-quality brand for best results
1 16-ounce wheel of brie cheese (Soft and ripe for a creamy texture)
¼ cup roughly chopped pecans Adds a crunchy, nutty flavor
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar For a rich, caramel-like sweetness
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper Enhances flavor with a mild heat
1 large egg For egg wash to give the pastry a golden finish
Crackers for serving (Optional, but pairs well for crunch)
Apple slices for serving (Optional, fresh sweetness balances richness)

Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a pie plate or rimmed sheet pan.
Roll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to form a 12-inch square.
Place the puff pastry on the prepared pie plate. Center the brie cheese and top with pecans, brown sugar, and black pepper. Carefully fold the pastry over the cheese and pinch the edges to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons of water. Brush the egg wash over the pastry, making sure to coat the edges.
Bake for 36 to 38 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Serve warm with crackers or apple slices if desired.
