Holiday Brie en Croute
Submitted By: Campbell's Kitchen
Servings: about 12
"This pastry-wrapped soft cheese can be served year 'round. Baked until the cheese melts, this elegant appetizer is topped with dried cranberries, apricot preserves and toasted almonds. Serve with crackers to a grateful crowd."
Ingredients:
1/2 package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup apricot preserves or raspberry jam
1/3 cup dried cranberry, softened*
1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
1 (13.2 ounce) round Brie cheese
1 (26 ounce) package Pepperidge Farm® Entertaining
Cracker Quartet Collection
Directions:
1. Thaw pastry sheet at room temperature 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix egg and water.
2. Unfold pastry sheet on lightly floured surface. Roll into 14 inch square.
Cut off corners to make a circle.
Spread preserves to within 1 inch of pastry edge.
Sprinkle cranberries and almonds over preserves. Top with cheese.
Brush edge of circle with egg mixture.
Fold two opposite sides over cheese.
Trim remaining two sides to 2 inch from edge of cheese.
Fold these two sides onto the round.
Press edges to seal.
Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
Decorate top with pastry scraps if desired.
Brush with egg mixture.
**I do recommend baking this in a dish that you will serve it with.
It's impossible to transfer it when it's done cooking.
3. Bake 20 minutes or until golden.
Let stand 1 hour. (This is important. Cheese will still be warm, but if you don't let it cool, all the cheese will run out of the puff pastry.)
Serve with crackers or french bread rounds.
This can actually be made with any type of preserves or fruit you like and can be served year round.
