Peach Brie Puff Pastry (Printer-Friendly)

Flaky pastry encases creamy Brie topped with spiced peaches for a sweet and savory bite.

# What You Need:

→ Cheese and Pastry

01 - 1 (8 oz) wheel Brie cheese
02 - 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
03 - 1 egg (for egg wash)
04 - 1 tbsp water

→ Peach Cobbler Topping

05 - 2 medium ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
06 - 2 tbsp brown sugar
07 - 1 tbsp granulated sugar
08 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
09 - 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
10 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
11 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter
12 - 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
13 - Pinch of salt

→ Optional Garnish

14 - 2 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts
15 - Honey, for drizzling

# How to Cook:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add diced peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, flour, and salt. Stir gently and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until peaches soften and mixture thickens. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
03 - Lightly roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface. Position Brie wheel in the center.
04 - Spoon the cooled peach cobbler topping evenly over the Brie cheese.
05 - Fold pastry edges up and over the Brie, overlapping to seal. Trim excess pastry and press edges tightly. Place sealed side down on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush this egg wash evenly over the pastry surface.
07 - Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and puffed.
08 - Remove from oven and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Top with chopped nuts if desired and drizzle with honey just before serving.
09 - Serve warm alongside sliced baguette, crackers, or apple slices.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Every slice oozes creamy Brie and sticky-sweet peach, so you never have to choose between sweet and savory.
  • The pastry comes out impossibly golden thanks to a trick with egg wash I picked up after a few not-so-pretty bakes.
02 -
  • If you rush the cooling step after baking, the cheese will ooze everywhere instead of holding gently inside the pastry.
  • Brushing the pastry evenly (especially where seams overlap) ensures you don’t end up with soggy spots.
03 -
  • A little extra egg wash pooled at the folds gives an extra-crisp crust where it counts.
  • Taste your peach filling before assembly and tweak the spices—it’s worth it.
