Good start for a recipe. I usually add brown sugar and cranberries to the almonds and dust the puff pastry with butter and egg white as previously recommended. Turns out delicious!!

Didn't push egg white on pastry but will try that next time. I froze the brie + pastry combination and then baked it at 400degreeC for 15min. Turned out well.

This is a go-to recipe for me whenever I am asked to bring something to a party. Its fun to try different variations of filling, I like to use honey and pecans, jam, or chopped apples. Make sure that you seal the seams of the puff pastry very well or cheese will break though while baking and you'll have a mess on your hands.

I brought this to a memorial day party and everyone loved it! So yummy, a very sweet and savory appetizer. I highly recommend spreading about 2 Tbsp. of apricot preserves and sprinkling almonds on the brie prior to wrapping it with the crescent rolls. Enjoy!

I found myself asking why do this when you can buy it already covered in pastry and just heat it up? It didn't taste any better - I wasn't impressed. Gave it three stars b/c I guess not everyone has pastry covered brie ready in their local grocery store.

This was a big hit at my parent's 55th anniversary party. For some reason my pastry didn't brown as nice as I would have liked, but I think that is the fault of the very old oven I had to use. I sliced the brie in half and put triple fruit jam in between and served it with crackers, anjou pears and granny smith apples. Everyone complimented me on the elegant appetizer.

This is a great base recipe. I recommend baking the brie with 1/4 cup brown sugar and a handful of walnuts. Also, to make presentation a little more appealing, brush the puff pastry with a beaten egg to add shine. Best if served fresh from the oven.

My favorite is to slice the brie in half and fill with rasperry preserves (seedless). Excellent - and the perfect appetizer with granny smith apples and pears - there will be nothing left!

This is a party staple for my family and friends. I love to mix it up. Sometimes I do the standard cranberries and apricot preserves, other times I use my food processor for super thin slices of granny smith apples or pears that I fan out over the brie wheel then spoon cranberry whole jelly and almonds. For a more savory treat I use saute fresh mushrooms in garlic olive oil with touch of salt and pepper then sprinkle w/ healthy dose of fresh parsley and sprinkle with walnuts. This summer I am going to fan out some fresh, thin cut strawberries with some high end strawberry preserves. Then I'm going to use clear and colored red and blue egg wash to do a mock flag on the top of pasty before baking for a 4th of July theme. I have a star shapped cookie cutter so the left over pasty will get cut into star shapes. For Christmas I always use my snowflake cookie cutter and for Thanksgiving I use some leaves.

This was a hit. I sliced horizontally and added blackberry seedless preserves and sliced almonds. As others have mentioned I used crescent roll dough and created a heart shape with the extras and placed on top since this was for an anniversary dinner. So good, easy and everyone thought it was great!

This was very good. My dad gave this 3 stars but I was hungry so I gave it 4! I would definitely add apricot preserves. I wasn't too sure about eating the rind of the Brie but otherwise it was very good.

Very tasty; we got lots of compliments. I left it in the warm oven too long, I think, because it was pretty runny. Noone seemed to mind.

I've made this several times for different parties and each time everyone gobbles it down. I brought it to a family gathering and a party with friends and all crowds raved. I've done this recipe with just the cheese as well as with raspberry preserves and another one with sliced almonds. All are great. I like serving it with sliced green apples!
