Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet frozen prepared puff pastry, 11 x 17 inches, defrosted
  • 1 wheel brie or Camembert cheese, about 8 ounces
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons jam
  • 1/4 cup nuts, crushed or sliced

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9 inch pie pan or line a baking sheet with foil.

Spread the puff pastry sheet onto a counter. Slice the wheel of Brie in half, horizontally, so that the halves are two, flatter wheels of Brie. Place half of the brie onto the puff pastry. Spread the jam on top. Sprinkle the almonds on the jam. Replace the top half of the brie. Wrap dough up and over the brie, starting at the corners. Turn over so the sealed side is underneath.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Great served with crackers.

Substitutions:

Strawberry jam and almonds is one of my favorite combinations. Walnuts and raspberry or apricot also work well.
