Honeyed Brie-Blackberry Puff Pastry Swirls

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

The contrast of sweet blackberries and honey with rich, melty Brie is irresistible. These are perfect for gatherings, holidays, or whenever I feel like treating myself to something delicious.

Ingredients

puff pastry sheets
Brie cheese
blackberries
honey
fresh rosemary
egg (for egg wash)

Directions

I start by preheating my oven to 400°F (200°C).
I roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
I slice the Brie into thin strips (no need to spread—slicing works best) and arrange it evenly over the pastry.
Then I scatter the blackberries across the top.
I drizzle everything with honey and sprinkle a little chopped fresh rosemary.
Next, I roll the pastry tightly into a log shape, then slice it into even swirls.
I place the swirls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
I brush the tops with egg wash for that golden finish.
I bake them for 15–20 minutes until they’re puffed and golden brown.
I serve them warm—because warm Brie is pure magic.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 12 swirls, perfect for serving 4 to 6 people as an appetizer.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15–20 minutes
Total time: 25–30 minutes

Variations

Sometimes I swap the blackberries for raspberries or chopped figs, depending on what I have on hand. If Brie isn’t my thing (or someone else’s), I go with goat cheese or a mild Camembert. A touch of crushed pecans or walnuts adds a nice crunch, too.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover swirls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When I’m ready to reheat them, I pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5–7 minutes to bring back that crisp texture. I avoid microwaving since it can make the pastry soggy.

FAQs

Can I make these puff pastry swirls ahead of time?

Yes, I sometimes prep the swirls a few hours in advance and keep them in the fridge until ready to bake. Just don’t add the egg wash until right before they go in the oven.

Should I remove the rind from the Brie?

I personally leave the rind on because it melts beautifully and adds flavor, but if I want a smoother texture, I trim it off.

Can I use frozen blackberries?

Yes, I’ve used frozen berries. I make sure to thaw and pat them dry to prevent excess moisture from soaking the pastry.

What’s the best way to slice the pastry without squishing it?

I chill the rolled log for 10–15 minutes before slicing. A sharp knife helps me get clean cuts.

Can I make these swirls sweet-only, without the rosemary?

Absolutely. If I’m leaning more dessert-style, I skip the rosemary and even dust with a bit of powdered sugar after baking.

Conclusion

Honeyed Brie-Blackberry Puff Pastry Swirls are a simple yet impressive bite that I come back to again and again. Whether it’s for a brunch, holiday, or wine night, these golden swirls always steal the show.
