- BAKED BRIE
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter

- 8 oz wheel brie cheese
- 1 tbsp fig preserves
- 1 egg, beaten

- PLUMS AND SHALLOTS
- 1 shallot, sliced thin
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 plums, pitted and cut into wedges
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions
- Step 1
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium- high heat. Once melted, add the plums and shallots. Reduce heat to medium-low and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Step 2
- Add the sugar, ginger and lemon juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the plums begin to break down around the edg- es, about 10 or 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Step 3
- Preheat the oven to 425° F.
- Step 4
- Lay the puff pastry flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the brie in the center. Spread the fig preserves evenly on top of the brie. Fold the 4 corners of the pastry over the brie. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
- Step 5
- Bake until golden-brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Use the parchment paper to transfer the brie to a serving plate. Spoon the plums and shallots over the top.
- Step 6
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh thyme. Enjoywith sliced baguette and/or crackers.
