  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tsp milk
  • 1 tbsp everything but the bagel seasoning

date-pecan sauce

  • 8 dates pitted and torn into pieces
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 ounces pecans halved
  • juice from 1/2 orange
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon red pepper flakes and salt
  • fresh thyme for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200° C/400 ° F.
  • First, make the date pecan sauce. Heat a small saucepan over medium high. Add torn dates and cook until they start to char, stirring constantly. Add butter, stir until melted. Add pecans, cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add vanilla extract, red pepper flakes, cinnamon and salt. Sprinkle with orange juice.
  • Stir in brown sugar and maple syrup, cook for 2 minutes or until the sauce becomes jammy.
  • Layer a pie plate with parchment paper. Lay the puff pastry on the plate and place the brie in the centre of the pastry. Spread the date-pecan sauce on top of the brie. Fold the pastry over the cheese. Then brush the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with everything but the bagel seasoning.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to firm up a bit. Remove the parchment paper and serve straight from the pie plate.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme. Serve with garlic bread or crackers. Enjoy!
