I rolled out the pastry to go under the Brie. You can get puff pastry and brie in many sizes so adapt. This is a big piece of Brie and small pieces of pastry so I rolled two together.

I added the agave sirup and rosemary to the frying pan and fried it until everything was glazed and the sirup had thickened. Use honey if you haven't got agave sirup.

All done. Let it cool down for 15 minutes before cutting it open. Don't put it on a chopping board like I did, the melted Brie will run. Place it in a shallow dish.
