Brie en Croute


I've had this appetizer at Mise en Place in New Hampshire as well as at a friend's house...I absolutely love it and was excited to try it myself!  Turned out really well, and it was super easy to make.

Brie en Croute

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 of a 17.3 oz package of Pepperidge Farm's Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet)
  • 1 8 oz brie cheese round
  • crackers, sliced apples, etc for serving


Directions

  1. Thaw 1 puff pastry sheet for 40 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  3. Unfold the pastry sheet on a work surface and place the brie in the center of the sheet. 
  4. Fold the edges of the sheet over and around the cheese.  
  5. Beat the egg and water together to use as a wash to seal the sheet around the brie.  Brush the seams with the egg wash.  
  6. Place the brie seam-side down in a baking dish (that you plan to serve with), and brush with egg wash.  
  7. Bake for 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.  Let stand for 20 minutes before serving.  Serve with crackers or sliced apples.
