Ingredients

  • 500 round of président brie 
  • 270 dough 
  • 50 butter melted
  •  eggs beaten
  • 140 pecans finely chopped
  • servings honey 

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking pan
  • kitchen towels

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas
  2. Unwrap the cheeses and slice each in half horizontally through the centre to make 4 rounds.
  3. Cut each round into 8 to give 32 wedges in total.
  4. Unroll the pastry and take out one sheet at a time, keeping the remainder covered under a tea towel.
  5. Cut the pastry into 4 long strips, brush with melted butter, then place a wedge of brie at the top of each strip. Fold pastry over, then over again to encase the brie, as you would a samosa, into a triangle. Dip one side of the pastry into the beaten egg, then into the chopped pecans. Put on a baking tray, then repeat with the remaining brie, pastry, egg and nuts.
  6. Bake the bites for 8-10 mins until golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 2 mins before drizzling with honey to serve.
