Ingredientes/Ingredients/Ingrédients
 

  • 250 g brie
  • 150 g cream cheese
  • 400 g puff pastry rolled out
  • 40 g pecans chopped
  • 15 g maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 4 apples it may be an assortment, since each ser de distintas, pues cada una aportará una variante distinta al queso

Preparación/To Prepare/Préparation
 

  • It’s extremely easy. In fact, it is something that may be prepared with the help of children. Cover the brie with the cream cheese. It should be completely covered, therefore, it might be a good idea to take it out of the refrigerator before starting to work with it.
  • Flatten the puff pastry being especially careful that it is not extremely thin to break when manipulating.
  • Line a baking tray with wax paper and place the puff pastry. On top of the pastry place the cheese in the middle and then put the finely chopped pecans. Coat with the maple syrup.
  • Wrap the cheese preparation with the puff pastry. Beat the egg and use it as an egg wash to brush over the puff pastry.
  • Bake at 180 °C or 350 °F until golden.
  • Serve with apples on the side cut in segments. I prefer an assortment of Gala, Granny Smith, and Pink Lady.
