Persimmon Puff Pastry Brie Wreath

40 minutes
easy
Serves 6 -8 people

Ingredients 

  • 1 wheel brie 8 oz
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 2 Fuyu persimmons divided
  • 1 –2 tbsp butter
  • 1 –2 tsp honey plus more for finishing
  • Pinch cinnamon or ginger
  • Pomegranate arils
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Sheet pan

Directions 

  • Finely dice one of the persimmons (no need to peel).
  • Melt the butter in a skillet and add the diced persimmon, honey, and a pinch of cinnamon or ginger. Cook until glossy and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
  • Lay the puff pastry on parchment paper. Place the wheel of brie in the center.
  • Cut the puff pastry around the brie into 1-inch strips, like sun rays. Remove the brie. Spoon the warm persimmon mixture into a small circle in the center, then put the brie back on top.
  • Twist each strip a couple of times and lay it back down to form a braided wreath around the cheese.
  • Brush the pastry with egg wash.
  • Bake at 400°F for 22–26 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and deep golden and the brie inside is melty.
  • Thinly slice the second persimmon into half-moon slices.
  • Once the brie comes out of the oven, fan the persimmon slices across the top.
  • Scatter with pomegranate arils, drizzle with honey, and serve warm.
