Puff Pastry Wrapped Brie with Pancetta and Mushrooms

Melted Brie, diced Pancetta, golden mushrooms in Puff Pastry with Thyme and hot honey is the only appetizer you’re going to need on your table— not only is it delicious, but it’s quick and so easy to prepare. Store-bought puff pastry wrapped around melted brie, muenster, pancetta then baked until the pastry is golden and the cheese caramelized and melty, topped with roasted mushrooms is a one of a kind, delicious mouth-watering appetizer!

Here Are the Step by Step Details:

Like I mentioned before, this will be probably one of the easiest appetizers you can make— you start with the puff pastry: Get yourself a store bought puff pastry and make sure it’s thawed. Roll it out until you get about 9 inches, you can make it smaller, depending on the amount of people you’re feeding. Place the rolled puff pastry on top of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

After you’ve rolled it out, start cooking the pancetta. I didn’t season the pancetta because you really don’t need to. Anywho, cook it until it is slightly crispy, it’s going to finish baking in the oven with the cheese. Remove it from the pan and add the mushrooms to the pan. Sauté the mushrooms until cooked and golden.

Next is the cheese, I used brie and muenster—IF there’s no brie, you can use Gruyere, or any other melty cheese. You can slice it or cube it, whatever floats your boat, just make sure you cut it and not leave it whole.

Place the cheese in the center then place the pancetta over the cheese. Top with thyme and black pepper then drizzle over a small amount of hot honey or regular honey then wrap the brie up.

The last step, brush the pastry with an egg wash and add a sprinkle of coarse sugar and black pepper. Transfer to the oven, let it bake till bubbly then you’re done!

When the pastry is ready, the top of the pastry should be deeply golden brown and you’ll probably have some burnt spots, that’s ok!

Enjoy this appetizer by digging in with a fork and tearing it apart.
