  • Basting brush optional for drizzling the honey

Possible Ingredient Additions and Substitutions

  • Feel free to get creative with your toppings and garnishes! Here are a few ideas to switch things up:

Instructions

  • Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Pistachio & Honey Sweet Baked Brie Wreath
  • Preheat Your Oven
  • Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent any sticky situations when baking your brie.
  • Assemble the Wreath
  • Take your thawed puff pastry and roll it out on a clean surface. Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into 1-inch strips. Carefully arrange the strips around your wheel of brie, forming a wreath shape. Pinch the ends of the pastry lightly to secure the wreath together. Don’t worry about perfection—this is rustic and festive!
  • Bake the Brie
  • Pop the assembled wreath into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffy. Keep an eye on it, as ovens vary, but you’ll want to make sure that the pastry is crispy and beautifully golden.
  • Decorate
  • Once out of the oven, let the wreath cool slightly—just enough so you can handle it! Drizzle the warm brie with honey for a touch of sweetness. Then, sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top. For that added holiday touch, garnish the wreath with fresh rosemary and cranberries. They bring a pop of color and a festive aroma to the dish.
  • Serve and Enjoy!
  • Serve this warm, straight from the oven, with a platter of crackers or slices of crusty bread. The gooey brie paired with the sweet honey and crunchy pistachios is an irresistible combination!
