Stuffed Baked BrieRecipe for Stuffed Baked Brie Ingredients: 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed All-purpose flour, for rolling 1 round brie cheese (8 to 12 ounces, 5- to 7-inch diameter) Jam or Chutney of choice 1 large egg, beaten Additionally: Fruit, Crackers, Baguette for serving Equipment: Baking sheet or pie plate Parchment paper 1. Thaw puff pastry (following instructions on box, usually about 45 minutes to an hour). 2. Pre-heat oven to 350 F 4. Top with your choice of jams or chutneys - some of our favorites are apricot, raspberry, fig and almond paste. 5. Roll out the puff pastry (dusting the work surface helps so that it doesn't stick) so that you can fold sides over the brie. 6. Beat egg to make an eggwash. 7. Place the stuffed brie in the center of your rolled out pastry and fold the sides over brie, short side first. You can add flair by overlapping the corners, twisting the dough as you bring it up to cover the brie. Be sure to seal brie and jam. 8. Brush the entire pastry with eggwash, especially at sides to seal. 9. Place on parchment lined baking sheet in pre-heated oven until golden brown. Let cool for several minutes after removing from the oven. 10. Surround with fruits and candied nuts. Serve with bread and/ or crackers. * You can make ahead one day by skipping the eggwash step and putting in the refrigerator.
