1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

pinch freshly ground black pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour the work surface and roll out the puff pastry.
Cut three thin strips from the edges of the pastry for decoration.
Gently remove the top rind of the brie.
Arrange the fresh blackberries on top of the brie, spoon on blackberry jam, and sprinkle with thyme leaves and black pepper.
Place the brie in the center of the pastry and brush edges with egg wash.
Fold the pastry over the brie, sealing the edges and pinching the seams underneath.
Braid the reserved pastry strips and place them on top of the wrapped brie.
Brush the entire pastry with remaining egg wash.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality ingredients, especially the brie and blackberries for the best flavor.
Don't overstuff the brie to prevent leaks during baking.
Serve with a variety of accompaniments like crackers or bread to cater to different tastes.
For added decadence, drizzle honey over the blackberries before wrapping the brie or sprinkle crushed nuts for a delightful crunch.
