The most delicious brie appetizer

Cheese is always a good idea, and that includes brie. With a mild flavor and soft texture, it’s a cheese choice that hits the spot. Brie cheese is ideally served at room temperature to maximize the creamy consistency. I like to enjoy it with hearty bread or crackers along with apple slices or grapes. It’s always been a go-to during snack time, and for good reason!

But today, we’re cranking the flavor up a notch by pairing brie with bacon, pecans, dates, rosemary, and honey. And then, we’re placing it inside a puff pastry for an absolute mouth-watering treat that pairs just as well with crackers and fruit!

After making this, prepare for some serious compliments. With this honey pecan bacon baked brie, you’ll have guests going nuts!

Ingredients in honey pecan bacon baked brie

To make this pastry-wrapped brie we will be using an egg wash. This helps it reach that perfect golden brown color and adds a bit of flavor! On the inside, we’ll pack in savory and sweet tastes with the addition of bacon, pecans, dates, rosemary, and honey.

  • Puff pastry: First up, you will need 1 defrosted puff pastry sheet. This will hold all of the ingredients and create a golden brown outer layer.
  • Brie: As for the brie, plan to use 1 16oz wheel.
  • Bacon: Prepare 3 slices of bacon and chop them into small pieces.
  • Pecans: Next, you’ll need 1/3 cup of chopped pecans.
  • Dates: Add some sweet flavor with 1/3 cup of chopped dates! Alternatively include cranberries or raisins.
  • Rosemary: Add a bit of herby flavor with 2 tsp of fresh, chopped rosemary.
  • Honey: 1/3 cup of honey will add a slightly sweet taste.
  • Egg: Last but not least, you’ll need 1 egg to spread over the pastry.

Kitchen tools you’ll need for this recipe

This recipe requires a few different kitchen tools. Before you start the cooking process, gather the following:

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cutting board
  • Chopped knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Stirring utensil
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Pastry brush

For measuring, you will need 1 tsp and 1/3 cup.

How to make baked brie with honey

This bacon and honey brie is made by wrapping everything inside a puff pastry! From there, we’ll create and add an egg wash before baking it for around half an hour.

To begin this brie recipe, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lay out the puffed pastry and place the brie in the center of the sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped bacon, chopped pecans, chopped dates, rosemary, and honey.

Place the mixture on top of the wheel of brie and then fold in the sides of the puffed pastry to cover the cheese. Rotate the sides as you go, eventually covering the entire wheel.

Whisk the egg in a separate small bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg on top of the puffed pastry and cover all of the dough space.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

How to serve honey baked brie

This honey pecan brie can be served in a few different ways.

First up, it’s so tasty that a little slice can actually be served as-is! It makes a nice savory dessert and can be enjoyed by itself!

Alternatively, you can enjoy this brie atop your favorite crackers, or pair it with other cheeses and some fruit to form a charcuterie board.

Storing leftovers

Are you prepping this dish for ahead of time? If so, great news: it freezes just fine!

To freeze pecan and honey brie for later, simply assemble and freeze prior to adding the egg wash and baking. When ready to serve, remove from the freezer, let thaw, and then add the egg wash and bake.

After baking, keep your brie pastry refrigerated in an airtight container. Enjoy within about 2 days.

    The recipe calls for one 16oz wheel of brie, but my store only had 8oz brie wheels. Could I use the recipe to make 2 smaller wrapped bries?

    Do you need to remove the rind on the Brie before baking?

      Hi Erin, I recommend leaving the rind on. You can also take it off if you prefer. Let me know how it comes out!

    I made this last night for a mini date night in with my hubby. We really enjoyed it! The only thing I would change is to decrease the amount of honey. It was a little too sweet for us.

    Made this for a Christmas party we threw, and it was a hit. I had the nuts on the side, and I left out the raisins in lieu of fig jam
    on the side. It was insanely easy but looked like it took a lot of effort to make! 12/10 stars, will definitely make this again.
