Season the Brie cheese well with salt and pepper and put aside. Also, chop the walnuts into small pieces using a sharp knife.

Place half of the chopped walnuts and 1 teaspoon of honey into the centre of the pastry and place the whole Brie cheese on top.

Bring the corners of the filo pastry together, one at a time , and press them together, forming a parcel. Place the Brie parcel upside down a greased baking tray oven tray and glaze with the remaining beaten egg. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170`c until the brie the pastry is golden brown. Meanwhile, as the Brie parcel is cooking, finely chop the leeks and figs. Sauté the leeks with the olive oil for a few minutes until soft , then add the figs, season lightly and cook together for 5 minutes. Next, add in the white wine and reduce by half. Once the brie is cooked, serve on a large plate dressed with the rucola leaves on top. Just before serving, drizzle with the fig and leek sauce over the top.
