Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry into a rectangle large enough to fully encase the brie.
  3. Carefully place the brie in the center of the rolled-out pastry and score the top in a crisscross pattern.
  4. Spread the fig preserves evenly over the top of the brie, then drizzle honey, sprinkle fresh thyme, and a dash of black pepper.
  5. Gently fold the pastry over the brie, sealing the edges tightly to prevent leakage.
  6. In a small bowl, beat an egg and brush it over the surface of the pastry; sprinkle coarse sugar if using.
  7. Place the Baked Brie in Puff Pastry onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Once baked, allow the Baked Brie in Puff Pastry to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
