Baked Brie (adapted from Simply Recipes)
Ingredients:
-1 large sheet of puff pastry dough or t tube crescent rolls
-1 round of Brie cheese - just take off paper or plastic wrap but not the rind. Leave whole
-Jam or preserves of your choice - let your imagination go wild - apple butter, whole cranberry sauce, fig preserves, raspberry jam, etc. Have even seen hot pepper jelly as a suggestion.
-Optional brown sugar to sprinkle over top of breading
-Optional maple syrup to drizzle over as well
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Unroll crescent rolls in one large sheet. Press seams of rolls together to make a whole sheet of dough.
Place cheese in the middle of dough.
Top with jam, preserves, apple butter of your choice. I used apple butter that my Sister in Law had brought from the mountains of Virginia (yummy!). Top with 2 tablespoons.
Bring bread up around cheese to cover. I did a partial twist of the dough on top.
With all that excess dough on top, it would take forever for the top to bake so I just grabbed my kitchen scissors (if you don't own a pair, go buy some, they are a lifesaver!) and sniped a bit. Like giving a haircut! Here's the excess that I cut off.
After the "haircut"
I could take a picture of it cut - we were taking it to a neighbors. But the apple butter complimented the brie so nicely!
Enjoy!
Love the post-haircut pic :) Looks Yum-diddly-ishus! I must try to make that next time I have some friends over!
