This is one of my most popular fall crowd pleasers because it’s super easy to make but tastes like a high end restaurant appetizer. It’s salty, creamy, cheesy and sweet and the flaky, buttery puff pastry is the perfect canvas for all of this flavor!!!
If you can’t find fresh figs, you can sub with apples, pears, dates or dried black figs.
Baked Brie, Prosciutto & Fig Galette
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry thawed
- 1 round of brie cheese about 8 oz
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
- 4-5 fresh black figs sliced
- 3-4 slices of prosciutto torn into pieces
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze store-bought or homemade
- Flaky sea salt to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or according to the puff pastry instructions. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly roll out your puff pastry sheet to thin just a little bit. Make sure it's pliable. Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Slice the brie into 1- 1 1/2 inch slices. Place the brie slices in the center of the puff pastry. Fold the edges of the pastry over the brie, leaving the center exposed. Pinch the edges to create a decorative crust.
- Brush the pastry edges with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden color when baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed, and the brie is melted. You can follow your puff pastry instructions here for time as well.
- Once the galette is out of the oven, allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. Top with sliced figs and torn prosciutto.
- Drizzle the galette with balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, cracked black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves for an aromatic finish.
