Brie, honey & walnut croissants

A cornerstone of French 'art de vivre' (art of living) is the bold pairing of sweet and savoury flavours. The creaminess of Brie cheese and sweetness of honey is a classic pair, highlighted by the earthy, resinous scent of rosemary. In this recipe, cheese is not just a topping, but the soul of the croissant, melting softly into the dough during baking.

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Roughly chop walnuts, mix with honey.

Tip: Honey will caramelise around juicy walnuts.
2

Cut puff pastry into triangles. Place a slice of cheese (with rind) and a little nutty honey on wide end.

Tip: Cheese has high fat content, so it becomes liquid during baking (fat melting).
3

Roll up, brush with egg, sprinkle with chopped rosemary. Bake until golden brown.

Tip: Rosemary essential oils activate with heat.

Recipe FAQ

All the cheese leaked out.
It's worth leaving the rind on the Brie, because it holds the melting inside together.
