A couple of weeks ago a few girls from school were coming over for some wine and cheese.  I had some brie in the fridge so I decided to whip this up real quick.  I figured, Who doesn’t love ooey gooey cheese? This was my first time doing anything special with brie and I have to say… I’m in love.

It’s so quick and easy and I promise your guests will love it. I got the recipe idea from simplyrecipes.com.  Unfortunately I wasn’t able to snag an “after” pic.  I think we all got a little excited and started digging in right away!

Ingredients: 

• 1 large sheet of puff pastry dough or 1 tube of refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
• 1 round or wedge of Brie cheese (do not remove rind)
• Raspberry Jam, or other sweet jam
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions: 

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2 On a stick-free cookie sheet, lay out the puff pastry or the crescent rolls flat; put brie round or wedge on top.

2 Spread jam on brie, fold dough over top, cutting off excess dough

3.  Beat egg and water together.  Brush pastry with egg.

4.  Bake at 350º for 25-30 minutes, pastry should be golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
