I shared a recipe for prosciutto-wrapped brie in pastry a couple of years ago. It’s since become one of my personal favorites, I make it all the time. My family loves anything wrapped up in prosciutto.

While I was in New York last week thinking up our very last holiday recipes, I wrote this idea down, and it stayed in my thoughts for days. I was so excited to return this past weekend to make these rolls! I knew they would turn out good, but they were even better than I pictured!

Step 1: slice the brie and wrap in prosciutto

Pick up your favorite wheel of Brie from the grocery, then slice it up into eight slices. Ideally, try to use a 12-ounce wheel of Brie. And there’s no need to peel away any of the rind. Leaving the rind on will ensure the yummy Brie bakes up nicely inside each pastry without too much mess.

Now, take thin slices of deli prosciutto and wrap a single slice around a slice of Brie. The idea is to mostly cover the slice of Brie.

Take your sheets of thawed-out puff pastry and cut each sheet into 4 squares to make a total of 8 squares.

Spread each square with fig preserves or use honey, whatever you prefer. Add the prosciutto-wrapped Brie and some freshly cracked black pepper.
