Now, it’s one of my go-to recipes when I need a crowd-pleasing treat that looks fancy but takes almost no effort. It’s perfect for brunches, holidays, potlucks, or just those evenings when you want to spoil yourself with something special.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- ½ cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 medium pear, thinly sliced
- 2 ounces brie cheese, sliced
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Honey for garnish
How To Make Crinkle Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 13×9-inch baking sheet with parchment.
- Gather 2 sheets of phyllo at a time and bunch it up accordion-style and lay into the prepared pan. Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with butter. Continue baking for another 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk eggs, vanilla extract, milk and salt in a large bowl or measuring cup until combined.
- Tuck slices of pear and brie into the crinkle cake, sprinkle with thyme, then pour the egg mixture over the top. Continue baking until the top is golden, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Drizzle the top with honey, slice into squares and enjoy.
