Brie En Croute (Baked Brie)



 
 

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, pre-packaged
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced walnuts
  • 3-5 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar
  • 1 (8-ounce) wheel Brie
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten
  • Crackers, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Defrost puff pastry for approximately 30-40 minutes (depending upon room's current temperature) and unfold.
In a small bowl, melt the butter in microwave for 30 seconds or less. Mix the walnuts, cranberries, agave and brown sugar in the butter.  Lay the puff pastry out on a flat surface.  Pour walnut mixture in a pile on the center of the dough sheet. Place the brie on top of mixture. Gather up the edges of the pastry, pressing around the brie and gather at the top. Gently squeeze together the excess dough until sealed.  Reserve any excess dough.  Flip over.  Brush the beaten egg over top and side of Brie. Place Brie on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes until pastry is golden brown.
Serve with crackers.

To give a special look, cut extra pastry into leaves and berries
