Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss together asparagus, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Roll pastry sheets out on a floured surface; cut into 8 squares. Place 1 piece of brie diagonally on each square; add a handful of asparagus, again diagonally. Take 2 corners of the pastry and wrap up and over the asparagus to enclose. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat. Brush each pastry with egg wash.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, melt together honey, butter and thyme in a small saucepan over low heat.
Serve pastries warm, drizzled with thyme honey and crushed red pepper flakes.
