Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
- 6 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 6 oz (170 g) brie cheese, rind removed and cut into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or honey mustard (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional, for garnish)
- Fig jam or apricot preserves (optional, for serving)
- Black pepper or crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry gently on a floured surface to smooth creases. Slice into 6 strips about 2 inches wide each. Trim edges if uneven.
- Lay prosciutto slices along one edge of each strip, slightly overlapping. Place thin strips of brie on top. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard if using.
- Roll each strip carefully from the prosciutto side to form a rose shape. Place each rose on the baking sheet seam side down.
- Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle fresh thyme or rosemary if desired. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy and brie is melted.
Notes
Do not thaw puff pastry too much; it should be pliable but cool. Slice brie thinly for easier rolling. Overlapping prosciutto helps hold the rose shape. Use egg wash for color and sealing edges. Start checking baking at 20 minutes to avoid burning. For gluten-free, use gluten-free puff pastry; for dairy-free, substitute brie with vegan cheese.
