Date and pecan baked brie in puff pastry. A crowd-pleasing appetizer with an impressive payoff. Gooey brie topped with charred dates and pecans, wrapped in crunchy puff pastry. It’s salty, sweet and hearty at the same time. Puff pastry baked brie takes ‘rich and luxurious’ to the next level. Add some crackers and a few guests, and you’ve got yourself a fancy party situation.
This appetizer is super easy to make. We start by preparing the date-pecan sauce, we use orange juice, maple syrup and brown sugar, then jazz it up with a splash of vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon. Next all we do is top the brie with the sauce, wrap it in a sheet of puff pastry, sprinkle with everything but the bagel seasoning and bake until golden.
The combination of warm, melted cheese and crispy pastry is actually impossible to resist. The date-pecan sauce really takes it over the edge.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.
