Baked Brie
Nothing satisfies like a warm, creamy cheese. This recipe is so easy that you can make it in 5 minutes. And the presentation is beautiful!
Buy extra brie cheese rounds (I get my at Sam's Club much cheaper!) and puff pastry sheets and keep them in your freezer. You will always have a wonderful hors d'oeuvre to serve at a moment’s notice.
1 14 oz round Brie (the best variety and price can be found at Sam’s club.)
1 package puffed pastry sheets(You will need only one. They come two in the box. You can find in the freezer section where you find pie crusts)
Any vary of jams, chutneys (apricot is my personal favorite), dried fruits, and nuts
Remove one sheet of the frozen puff pastry. Let it come to room temperature (or microwave on defrost for 2 minutes if needed). Cut Brie in half, lengthwise. Place one slice of the Brie (creamy side up) in the center of the unfolded puff pastry sheet. Add filling. Aproximently ½ cup of whatever you choose...add nuts and or dried fruit. Place other half of Brie (creamy side down) on top of fruit mixture.
Carefully wrap the puff pastry upward around the Brie. Starting with the corners of the pastry fold up in a circle fashion around the Brie, gathering the ends in the center of the Brie. Place on foil lined and sprayed cookie sheet seam side down. Brush with egg.
Bake at 375 for 20 minutes, until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
