Puff Pastry Brie with Jam & Nuts Recipe

This yummy and delicious Brie En Croute recipe was inspired by Paula Dean (video here). She uses it on crackers, but I found it made a wonderful desert for a party I had recently. The salty sweet combination went really well with the ice cream. It is so simple and looks like it took all day.

Here's how I made it.

Start with:

• One sheet of Puff Pastry
• One Wheel of Brie Cheese – $1 off one printable coupon offer
• 1/2 cup preserves – I used homemade blackberry/apple (recipe to follow).
• 1/4 chopped walnuts – toast them slightly in a dry pan
• One Egg

Roll out the Puff Pastry, remove the outer layer from the top of the brie cheese.

Place the Pastry sheet on a parchment lined baking sheet, center the brie, top with nuts and preserves.

Loosely, fold up the pastry into a nice little packet, tie with kitchen twine and brush with beaten egg. Bake at 375 for about 20-25 minutes. Be careful not to under bake.

Serve with crackers or ice cream.
