Baked Ham & Brie Pastry

If you know me (or visit this page often) you know that appetizers are my favorite course. There’s an easy reason for this: they almost always involve carbs, cheese, or both - and you can have several options at once. This baked ham & brie idea was born when I was hungry at the grocery store pre-NFL Playoff games…the best/worst combo for shopping.

If you’re vegetarian or like a sweeter option, I’ve made this version before and it is equally delicious - just a different vibe. I was in a savory mood and this new creation did not disappoint!

You know how it goes around here, not gunna make you scroll for 10 years to get to the recipe so let’s dive in.

Ingredients

1 wheel of brie

• Sliced ham - I went with a cheap pre-packaged one because I was too impatient to wait in line but next time I’ll go for a higher quality honey baked slice

• 1 tube crescent rolls

• Honey

• Brown sugar

• Sourdough baguette to use as a vehicle to get this into your mouth

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350

• In a small glass dish, lay entire tube of crescent rolls out flat (it’s ok if it goes over the edges, you’re going to fold it all up)

• Place wheel of brie on top of the dough

• Cut the ham into small, bite sized pieces and place on top of the brie

• Sprinkle with brown sugar & honey (measure with your heart)

• Fold outer edges of crescent roll on top of the cheese so it forms one nice round lil bun of goodness

• Sprinkle more brown sugar & honey on top. Don’t be shy with the toppings - the brown sugar crisps up reaaal nicely in the oven and the honey adds a nice flavor.

• Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until crescent rolls are bronzed to your liking

• Let cool for 5 minutes, slice up some sourdough bread for the side & enjoy! I recommend serving it in the same dish you cook it in if possible - it can get a bit messy to transfer.
