DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet and set Brie in the center. With a sharp knife, lightly score the top of the Brie to allow steam to escape.
Spread cranberry sauce evenly on top, then sprinkle with thyme and almonds. Drizzle with honey.
Gently fold puff pastry over Brie, creating folds as you go. Brush edges with egg to secure each fold, ensuring cheese is fully enclosed. Brush entire pastry with egg, then lightly score the top with a paring knife for decoration.
Bake 30-35 minutes until pastry is golden and puffed.
Allow to cool at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with apple slices and crackers. Enjoy!
