Foodie Friday: Puff Pastry is your friend, part 2

I make this recipe every year for our holiday party.  It could not be simpler, yet it’s elegant and absolutely delicious.

Amy’s brie with raspberry in puff pastry

1 sheet Pepperidge Farm puff pastry, thawed
1 small wheel brie cheese
Seedless raspberry preserves
1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Spread raspberry preserves over top of brie wheel (I typically use 2-3 Tbsp, but you can use more or less, if you prefer).  Place brie, preserve side down, in the center of the puff pastry.  Fold edges over to wrap around cheese completely.  Don’t worry about overlapping edges.  Turn brie over, and place, folded edges down, on a greased round, deep dish pan (I use a deep dish pizza stone).  Use a pastry brush to brush egg wash over puff pastry. 

Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until golden.  Serve with crackers, apple slices, etc.
