Ingredients

Walnut Butter

  • 1/2 cup walnuts, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive or walnut oil
  • Pinch sea salt

Brie

  • 2 tablespoons fig jam or spread
  • 1 (8-oz.) wheel Brie
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. To prepare walnut butter, puree 1/3 cup walnuts, oil and salt until smooth in a small food processor. Spread over Brie and top with fig jam and remaining walnuts.
  3. Place dough over Brie and press down lightly. Carefully flip over. Bring in 4 corners of the dough and pinch together decoratively to seal. Garnish with additional walnuts if desired and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm as is or with crackers, apple or pear slices.
