Prepare the Garlic

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Garlic: Slice the top off the head of garlic (just enough to expose the individual cloves). Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and wrap it in foil. Roast the garlic in the oven for 20-25 minutes until soft and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Prepare the Brie

1. Unwrap the Brie: While the garlic is roasting, unwrap the Brie cheese and place it on the center of your baking sheet.
2. Add Garlic to Brie: Once the garlic has cooled slightly, squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins and spread them evenly over the top of the Brie.
3. Wrap the Brie in Puff Pastry: Lay the sheet of puff pastry over the Brie and garlic, folding the edges around to encase the cheese completely. Use a fork to gently press the edges of the pastry together to seal.
4. Brush with Olive Oil: Brush the top of the puff pastry with a little olive oil to help it become golden and crispy while baking.

Bake the Brie

1. Bake: Place the Brie in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
2. Check for Doneness: After baking, carefully check the Brie by gently pressing the top of the pastry. If it feels soft, the cheese is melted inside and ready to serve.

Garnish and Serve

1. Garnish: Once the Brie is out of the oven, allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. Optionally, drizzle with honey or a fruit jam for an extra layer of sweetness. Add fresh herbs for a beautiful and fragrant touch.
2. Serve: Serve the Baked Brie with sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
