INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 (8 ounce) wheel Brie cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C). Lightly grease a 9 inch pie pan.
  2. Slice the wheel of Brie in half, horizontally, so that the halves are two, flatter wheels of Brie. Lay the puff pastry in the pie pan. Place half of the Brie (rind-side down) onto the pastry dough. Sprinkle almonds evenly over the top. Place the other half of the Brie (rind-side up) over the almonds. Bundle the pastry dough around the Brie.
  3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

This is just heavenly. I don't use the almonds, and I spoon plenty of apricot preserves over the brie before wrapping and I think this adds the extra kick it needs. Also, for those of you willing to try, this recipie works well with phyllo dough. Just brush melted butter over top of brie, then add preserves, and wrap in 4 sheets of phyllo that have also been brushed with butter. Trim excess dough and freeze. This is very important and should also be done with the puff pastry version. If you don't freeze, the cheese is completely liquid by the time the dough is done, and so this way they both come out perfect. Bake according to package directions.

This recipe is fabulous!!! I filled mine with apricot preserves along with the almonds and brushed with egg whites as suggested! Thank you so much to Veronika for the tip on freezing before cooking! The pastry came out wonderfully cooked and the cheese was perfect! This was THE hit of our party!

Easy, I used refridgerated crescent rolls instead of puff pastry.
