Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Dust a pastry mat with flour. Roll out the puff pastry into a 1/4-inch sheet with a rolling pin.
Step 3
Place 1/2 of the brie on the puff pastry, rind side-down. Trim off the corners of the pastry with a knife.
Step 4
Dab the top of the brie with 2 tablespoons almonds and 1 tablespoon butter. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey. Cover with the other half of brie, rind side-up. Top with the remaining almonds, butter, and honey.
Step 5
Wrap the puff pastry around the wheel of brie, sealing the seams by pinching them together. Brush with egg white. Place brie en croute in a baking pan.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
