Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

200g (7 oz) Brie cheese, cut into small pieces

1/2 cup fresh pomegranate seeds

1/4 cup chopped pistachios

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Flour, for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth it out. Cut it into four equal squares.

      Assemble the Parcels: On each pastry square, place a few pieces of Brie cheese in the center. Top with a tablespoon of pomegranate seeds and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios. Drizzle a touch of honey over the filling and season with salt, pepper, and rosemary if using.

        Seal the Parcels: Fold the corners of each pastry square over the filling to make a parcel and pinch the edges to seal. Brush the tops of the parcels with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

          Bake: Place the parcels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the parcels from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle any remaining honey on top and sprinkle with extra pistachios before serving.

              Enjoy: Serve warm as a heavenly appetizer experience, perfect for entertaining or a cozy night in!
