Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, stir together bacon, cranberries, rosemary and sage. Stir in 1 tbsp (15 ml) of the honey to coat; set aside.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, cut off the top rind of the Brie and reserve for another use.

Step 4

On a lightly-floured surface, roll out pastry to a 12-inch (30 cm) square. Place Brie in centre and cut a circle at least 2 inches (5 cm) wider than the Brie wheel. Remove Brie and place pastry circle on prepared pan. Return Brie to pastry. Cut remaining puff pastry into desired shapes using a cookie cutter and place on baking sheet as well.

Step 5

Fold up pastry along side of Brie, crimping edge around the top to create a lip, making sure to leave the centre of the cheese open.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water. Brush pastry around Brie and pastry cut-outs with egg mixture.

Step 7

Bake for 10 minutes or until pastry cut-outs are golden. Remove pastry cut-outs from baking sheet and top Brie with bacon mixture and drizzle with remaining honey. Return to oven for about 5 minutes or until pastry is golden and Brie is molten and oozing slightly.

Cook’s Tip

Don’t discard your Brie rind! Cut it into small pieces and freeze it to add to your next bowl of mushroom soup, grilled cheese, mac n’ cheese or cheese sauce!
