Steps:
- Lightly flour a board and carefully unfold one sheet of puff pastry. Roll the pastry lightly with a rolling pin until it's 9 1/2 by 11 1/2-inches. Spread the sheet of puff pastry with half the pesto, then sprinkle with half the goat cheese, half the sundried tomatoes, and half the pine nuts. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Working from the short ends, fold each end halfway to the center. Then fold each side again towards the center until the folded edges almost touch. Fold one side over the other and press lightly. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the entire instructions for the second sheet of puff pastry using the remaining ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the prepared rolls of puff pastry in 1/4 inch thick slices and place them face up 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 14 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.
- Place the walnuts, pignolis, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process for 30 seconds. Add the basil leaves, salt, and pepper. With the processor running, slowly pour the olive oil into the bowl through the feed tube and process until the pesto is finely pureed. Add the Parmesan and puree for a minute. Serve, or store the pesto in the refrigerator or freezer with a thin film of olive oil on top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and dust lightly with flour.
- Lay puff pastry on a flat work surface; cut a 12-inch circle from each sheet. Transfer 1 circle to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread ricotta evenly over the pastry circle. Top with an even layer of pesto. Lay the second pastry circle on top. Set a small glass upside down in the middle of the circle.
- Cut the circle, away from the glass, into 4 equal quarters. Cut each quarter in half, then each eighth in half, to make 16 equal strips. Remove glass. Twist strips twice, two at a time, in the opposite direction. Pinch ends together. Repeat with remaining strips to make a pinwheel shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold puff pastry and lay on a lightly floured surface. Pinch together the seams where the dough was folded and roll the dough about 1" longer in each direction.
- Transfer dough to the center of the parchment lined baking sheet. Unwrap brie and place on the center of the dough. Spoon pesto onto the center of the brie, spreading within about ½" of the edge. Sprinkle with pine nuts or pecans. Be sure the nuts stay on top of the pesto. If they fall down the side they may poke holes in the dough and create a leak.
- Brush dough lightly with beaten egg, then gather the dough up around the cheese and press it together at the top to form a pouch or beggar’s purse. Arrange the top of the pastry into a ruffle and trim any excess dough from areas where it feels particularly thick. Ensure that all edges are sealed.
- Brush the entire exterior of the pastry with remaining beaten egg then bake 30–35 minutes until the crust is dark golden brown, rotating if necessary for even browning.
