Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cut each brie round into bite-sized cubes. Press a few chopped pecans onto each cube so they stick.

3. Unroll the filo and keep it covered with a damp towel so it does not dry out. Lay two sheets on the counter and brush them lightly with melted butter.

4. Cut the buttered filo stack into squares about 4 inches (10 cm) wide. Repeat with the remaining filo and butter.

5. Place a pecan-coated brie cube in the center of each square. Gather the corners up around it and pinch to seal, brushing the pinched edges with a little beaten egg.

6. Arrange the parcels seam-side down on the lined sheet, leaving space between them. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg and any leftover butter.

7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the pastry is deep golden and the brie is soft. Make sure the egg is fully set in the pastry.

8. Drizzle the warm bites with honey and serve straight away.
