Jammy Brie Galette

• servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (one 14-oz. package or half of a 17.3-oz. package), thawed

All-purpose flour (for surface)

½ cup jam (such as fig or apricot)

8 oz. Brie, thinly sliced

3–4 sprigs thyme

Freshly ground pepper

1 large egg, beaten to blend

Directions

Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 375°. Roll out 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (one 14-oz. package or half of a 17.3-oz. package), thawed, on a lightly floured surface to a 13x11" rectangle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a paring knife, lightly score a rectangle in pastry 1½" in from edges. Prick pastry inside border in several places with a fork.

Spread ½ cup jam (such as fig or apricot) over pastry, staying within border. Arrange 8 oz. Brie, thinly sliced, on top of jam (it’s okay if it doesn’t cover completely). Break up 3–4 sprigs thyme and scatter over; season with freshly ground pepper.

Fold pastry at score marks up and over filling, tucking and pleating as needed, to form an edge of crust around galette. Brush exposed crust with 1 large egg, beaten to blend.

Bake galette until pastry is puffed, golden brown, and crisp, 30–40 minutes. Let cool before slicing.
