Lay the puff pastry on a cutting board. Spread fig jam in the center (about a 5-inch circle). Top with the round of brie.
Fold the puff pastry up and over the top of the brie and keep overlapping until all puff pastry has enclosed the brie. Slightly twist the top into a knot to seal.
Place the wrapped brie in a baking dish that you'd like to serve from- a pie plate works well. Brush with the egg wash.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the outside is golden. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. and cook for an additional few minutes, until the brie has softened.
Serve with hard crackers or crusty bread.
Notes
Fig jam can sometimes be tough to find. Look in your market's peanut butter and jelly aisle, or if your market has a gourmet cheese section you can usually find it there too.
Nutritional information is for the brie only-- not the crackers or bread that you use to dip into it.
