Crispy baked phyllo pastry filled with Brie and topped with sweet fig jam.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 Brie 200 grams
- 50 grams butter melted
- 3 phyllo sheets
- 4 tablespoons fig jam green
- 1 teaspoon thyme fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 356°F.
- Fold a sheet of phyllo pastry lengthwise.
- Brush the top half of phyllo with melted butter and spread the butter between the layers, too.
- Place the wheel of Brie in the middle of the folded phyllo sheet.
- Wrap the first sheet of phyllo dough around the cheese as you would a gift.
- Spoon the green fig jam on top of the cheese and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
- Wrap the cheese in one more layer of buttered phyllo folded in half.
- Now, fold the last sheet of phyllo twice and trim it into a 2-3 cm (1 inch) thick strip. Repeat to make the phyllo ribbons and the bow.
- To shape the center of the bow, fold the phyllo sheet into a smaller strip - about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick.
- Arrange the ribbons and the bow, using the center piece to secure the bow (fold the ends of the strips to the back).
- Brush with melted butter all over.
- Bake the phyllo-wrapped Brie on a baking sheet for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve warm with crostini or baguette and extra jam.
