Description

Ingredients

• 1 [19] oz wheel of brie
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• ¼ cup loosely packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup praline pecans [I used Fishers]
• 1 tsp butter
• 1 large egg, beaten

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove the brie from the wrapping, and using the edge of a sharp knife, peel/scrape the rind from the cheese. If you dont mind the rind, simply leave it on the cheese and skip this step.
• Carefully cut the brie in half.
• Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, using a floured rolling pin. Shape it into a 13-14 inch square. It doesnt have to be perfect.
• Trim the corners, shaping the pastry into a large circle. Leave a 3 inch circumference around the cheese to cover it entirely.
• Place the bottom half of the brie into the center of the pastry.
• Sprinkle the brown sugar and nuts on top. Dot with butter, then brush the edge with the beaten egg wash.
• Center the top piece over the sugar and nuts.
• Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese pressing firmly. The egg wash acts as a glue holding everything together. Brush the bottom with the egg wash, then flip the cheese over, so the smooth side will be on top.
• Place onto the baking sheet, and smooth the sides with your hands.
• Brush the pastry on all sides with the egg wash.
• Garnish the top with cut outs from the trimmed edges, if desired.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
• Let the brie en croute sit on the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes before cutting.
• Serve with your choice of crackers, apple or pear slices.
