Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pack refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces (226 grams) brie cheese, sliced
- 8 slices prosciutto
Seasoning and Herbs:
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a ring-shaped foundation using crescent roll dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring a central hollow space for visual appeal.
- Strategically position delicate brie cheese slices around the inner circumference of the dough ring, creating a luxurious cheese border.
- Drape prosciutto slices elegantly over the brie, forming a savory layer that embraces the creamy cheese.
- Carefully fold the crescent dough edges inward, enveloping the prosciutto and brie, and meticulously pinch the seams to create a secure seal.
- Apply a glossy egg wash across the entire surface of the dough, ensuring an even coating that will transform into a golden-brown crust during baking.
- Delicately sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the prepared ring, adding an aromatic herbaceous touch.
- Slide the prepared ring into a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until the dough achieves a rich, amber complexion and the brie melts into a creamy consistency.
- Once removed from the oven, optionally drizzle with honey for a subtle sweet contrast, then serve immediately while warm and inviting.
Notes
- Choose room temperature brie for even melting and smooth texture throughout the ring.
- Thinly slice prosciutto to ensure it integrates seamlessly with the cheese and doesn’t overpower other flavors.
- For a gluten-free version, swap crescent roll dough with gluten-free puff pastry or almond flour-based dough.
- Consider adding a light spread of fig jam or caramelized onions inside the ring for extra depth and complexity of flavor.
