- 1 wheel of brie
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, defrosted
- ½ cup to 1 cup of honey (any kind you prefer)
- ¼ cup of Juniper Rose Salt & Pepper
- Edible flowers for garnish
- Crackers, bread, and crudité vegetables for serving
Instructions for our recipe:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Brie: Carefully unwrap the wheel of brie and place it in the center of the puff pastry sheet.
3. Fold and Seal: Gently fold the puff pastry over the brie, ensuring it is fully covered. Trim any excess pastry if necessary. Use a little water to seal the edges and create a neat package.
4. Bake: Transfer the wrapped brie onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the brie is soft and gooey inside.
5. Infused Honey: While the brie is baking, it's time to prepare the star of the show – the Juniper Rose Salt & Pepper infused honey. In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey over low heat. Once it's warmed, stir in the Juniper Rose Salt & Pepper. Allow the flavors to meld together, but be careful not to overheat the honey; you want to preserve the delicate balance of flavors.
6. Drizzle and Garnish: Once the baked brie is out of the oven, carefully transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the warm Juniper Rose Salt & Pepper infused honey generously over the top. This is where the magic happens as the honey's sweetness meets the savory, aromatic notes of the salt and pepper.
7. Add Edible Flowers: To add a touch of elegance and a pop of color, scatter edible flowers over the baked brie. The flowers not only look beautiful but also contribute a delicate floral aroma that complements the dish perfectly.
8. Serve: Surround your masterpiece with an assortment of crackers, bread, and crudité vegetables. Encourage your guests to scoop up a slice of the puff pastry-wrapped brie, dripping with the exquisite Juniper Rose Salt & Pepper infused honey.
9. Enjoy: The moment of truth has arrived. Bite into the crispy, buttery pastry to reveal the lusciously creamy brie within. The infusion of Juniper Rose Salt & Pepper in the honey takes this dish to another level, imparting a subtle warmth and complexity to every bite.
For a full autumnal twist, you can also gently tie twine around the puff pastry-wrapped brie before baking, creating divisions that resemble the segments of a pumpkin. This simple yet creative technique adds a whimsical element to your dish, making it an eye-catching centerpiece for your autumn gatherings!
