Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (package comes with 2 sheets)
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 small (8-ounce) wheel Brie
1/2 cup raspberry jam
2 eggs, beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Defrost 1 sheet of puff pastry for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and unfold (place remaining sheet in freezer for later use). Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute nuts in butter until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Place nuts on top of Brie and spread jam on top of nuts. Gently roll pastry with a rolling pin to increase the size of the sheet 1 to 2 inches in each direction. Brush both sides of the sheet with beaten egg. Center the wheel of Brie on top of the pastry sheet. Bring all four corners of the sheet together above Brie and twist slightly to form a "bundle." Tie gathered pastry with kitchen/cooking string (tie string in the form of a bow), arranging pastry until you are satisfied with the "bundle" shape. Place "bundle" on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Serve with top-quality crackers.

Party Pleaser!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is one of the best brie en croute recipes I've ever had. I always get rave reviews when I make it for a party. People... end up hacking chunks off of it until it's completely gone. You can change up the nuts and the jams to make it different every time. I prefer seedless jams. Excellent recipe Paula!Read more

Yummy!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was soooo easy and awesome. I wanted to test it out at my nephew's B-day to see if I wanted to make it for... thanksgiving:) You don't really need the kitchen string and you only need 1 egg to just spread on the outside of the pastry. I ended up giving the recipe to people at the party cause they liked it sooo much and my sister thought I bought it from Costco:)Read more

Beautiful and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This appetizer is incredibly easy to make. I served it at a dinner party and everyone (even the guys) raved about it. I... plan to always have the ingredients on hand so I can whip it up whenever we have an urge for it. I followed the recipe as written and agree with other reviewers that only 1 egg is needed, not 2. I would give this recipe 10 stars if it was possible.Read more
