Please enjoy this delicious--and easy!--appetizer that my family loves to make.
When you slice into the warm crust,
and the brie and raspberry preserves ooze
out...yum!
Brie en Croute
Brie en Croute
Ingredients
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (package comes with 2 sheets)
1 small (8-ounce) wheel Brie
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
2 eggs, beaten
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Defrost
1 sheet of puff pastry for 20
minutes and unfold (place remaining sheet in freezer for another
recipe). Gently roll pastry with a rolling pin to increase the
size of the sheet 1 to 2
inches in each direction. Brush both sides of the sheet with beaten
egg. Center
the wheel of Brie on top of the pastry sheet and spread the preserves
on the Brie. Bring all four corners of the
sheet together above the Brie and twist slightly to form a "bundle."
Tie
gathered pastry with kitchen/cooking string (tie string in the form of
a bow),
arranging pastry until you are satisfied with the bundle shape.
Place the bundle on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20 to
25
minutes until pastry is golden brown. Serve warm with top-quality
crackers.
