Savor the elegance of every bite! Perfect for your next party or a delightful treat after a long day.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tbsp honey
- 4 oz Brie cheese, sliced
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional for garnish)

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet. Cut into long strips, about 2 inches wide.
3. On each strip, lay slices of Brie cheese and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Roll each strip gently into a swirl and place on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Beat the egg with a splash of water in a small bowl. Brush this egg wash over the pastry swirls to achieve a golden finish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
6. Once out of the oven, immediately top the pastry swirls with chopped pistachios and drizzle with honey.
7. If desired, garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.
