I always make this for special occasions, although it's so easy I am wondering why I don't make it more often! Don't be intimidated because it's brie and puff pastry, this is really simple! Try it and enjoy a delicious treat. This is a combination of about three recipes. I just experimented with different tastes before I settled on this one. This is not for the dieters!!! Ingredients:
8 ounces brie round |
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed about 15-20 minutes |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/4 cup walnuts (or if you prefer you may use pecans) |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 pinch cinnamon |
2 eggs, beaten |
kitchen twine |
Directions:
1. Slice only top rind off Brie.
2. Roll thawed puff pastry out to get rid of seams and to increase the size by 1 to 2 inches.
3. Brush both sides of pastry with the beaten egg, then place it on an ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Place brie in center of pastry.
5. Melt butter in saucepan and saute walnuts for 5 minutes.
6. Spread butter and walnut mixture on top of brie.
7. Sprinkle brown sugarand pinch of cinnamon on top of butter-walnut mixture.
8. Bring puff pastry together on top of the brie and twist to form a bundle on top. Tie with the kitchen twine. (Tie the twine in a bow.).
9. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
10. Serve with top quality crackers.
