Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases.
- Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the puff pastry sheet.
- On each circle, place a Brie cheese cube in the center. Drizzle honey over the cheese and sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.
- Fold the edges of the circle towards the center, pinching them together to seal the filling inside.
- Place the filled puffs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg, which will give them a golden color when baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the puff pastry turns golden brown and puffs up.
