Description

This delightful Baked Gruyère in Pastry with Rosemary and Garlic is a warm, savory treat perfect for entertaining or a cozy snack. Creamy Gruyère cheese is wrapped in flaky puff pastry, infused with aromatic rosemary and garlic, and finished with a touch of honey for a hint of sweetness. Served hot and bubbly, it’s a sophisticated yet simple appetizer that pairs beautifully with bread or crackers.

Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

Cheese Filling

  • 1 pound Gruyère, Fontina, or a mix, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 2 teaspoons honey, plus more for serving

Finishing

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for crisping the pastry and melting the cheese evenly.
  2. Prepare Pastry and Cheese: Lay the thawed puff pastry flat on a parchment-lined 10-12 inch baking dish or pie plate. Pile the cubes of Gruyère (or Fontina/mix) in the center of the pastry.
  3. Add Seasonings: Combine the chopped fresh rosemary and grated garlic with your fingers to release their aroma, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cheese. Drizzle the 2 teaspoons of honey on top for a subtle sweet contrast.
  4. Fold and Brush Pastry: Carefully fold the corners of the pastry over the cheese to create a rustic bundle. Brush the surface of the pastry with the beaten egg to promote a golden, glossy finish. Lightly sprinkle coarse sugar on top for a delicate crunch and sweetness.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is deep golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbling and melted.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enhance with extra honey, freshly ground black pepper, and accompany with your favorite bread or crackers. Enjoy it even by spoon for a decadent treat!

Notes

  • Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed for best results and easy folding.
  • Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor; dried rosemary can be too potent and dry.
  • The amount of garlic can be adjusted based on your preference for pungency.
  • Adding extra honey at serving time balances the savory and enhances meltiness.
  • This dish pairs nicely with a crisp white wine or light red wine.
