brie cheese

🥗Healthier: camembert cheese

walnuts

🥗Healthier: pecans

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Sunflower seeds are a budget-friendly nut alternative.

Remove phyllo dough from packaging and allow to defrost for about 45 minutes.

Cut the brie cheese into two smaller wedges.

Melt 4 teaspoons of butter in a ramekin until golden, then stir for consistency.

Unroll the defrosted phyllo dough and cut it into two sections.

Using a basting brush, lightly butter each phyllo sheet, applying another sheet on top and turning it a quarter turn, repeating for about 4 to 6 sheets for a crispy crust.

Place the first wedge of brie in the center of the phyllo dough and wrap it around the cheese, applying butter to create a seal if any part slides off.

Lightly butter the top of the wrapped brie.

For the second wedge of brie, repeat the wrapping process but first spread 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and some fresh rosemary evenly across the cheese before wrapping it in phyllo dough.

Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper, then place the two wrapped wedges on top.

Place in the oven at 375°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving with crackers.
