- 2 bacon strips finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fig preserves
- 1 tbsp salsa macha or chili crisp
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 pinch of salt

Instructions
- Sautee your bacon on low for 6-7 min to render the fat. Raise heat to medium and add in shallots. Sautee until the bacon gets crispy and shallots get jammy.

- Roll out puff pastry and using a round dinner plate cut out a circle.
- Score your brie.
- Add the jam to the center of the puff pastry and place the brie scored side down.
- Wrap it and seal the edges VERY WELL with eggwash.
- Tie your brie with 4 pieces of kitchen twine all around to shape pumpkin, as shown in the video. Tie twine at the top so you can remove easier.
