Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Unwrap the cheeses and slice each in half horizontally through the centre to make 4 rounds. Cut each round into 8 to give 32 wedges in total.
  2. Unroll the pastry and take out one sheet at a time, keeping the remainder covered under a tea towel. Cut the pastry into 4 long strips, brush with melted butter, then place a wedge of Brie at the top of each strip. Fold pastry over, then over again to encase the Brie, as you would a samosa, into a triangle. Dip one side of the pastry into the beaten egg, then into the chopped pecans. Put on a baking tray, then repeat with the remaining Brie, pastry, egg and nuts.
  3. Bake the bites for 8-10 mins until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 2 mins before drizzling with honey to serve.

    Looks like a good idea....although i'd probably do cashews instead of pecans and ditch the honey so that it's savoury rather than sweet/savoury!

    Hmmmmm......the brie oozed out of the pastry all over the baking sheet despite several layers of filo around it. What was left inside tasted good though.

    Done these for 2 parties now and are always tasty. Freeze well too. They are a little fiddley with the filo pastry but if you have time and patience then worth the effort.
