Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the pastry into a 15-inch square on a floured work surface. Use a small plate to cut two 7 1/2-inch circles. Put the circles on the prepared baking sheet. Use a small star cookie cutter to cut out 10 stars from the dough scraps to decorate the top of the pastry. Put on the baking sheet with the pastry circles and chill 15 minutes in the fridge.
- Stir together the fig preserves and thyme in a small bowl.
- To assemble, set the bottom half of the Brie, cut side up, in the center of one of the pastry circles. Spread the fig jam on the Brie and sprinkle with the almonds. Brush the exposed pastry with the egg wash. Top with the other half of the Brie, cut side down. Lay the second pastry circle over and gently press to form it to the sides of the Brie. Fold the bottom circle of dough over, pleating as you go, to form a border.
- Brush the pastry all over with the egg wash. Arrange the cut outs on top of the brie, overlapping only slightly. Brush the cut outs with egg wash. Bake until the pastry is very crisp and deep golden, about 30 minutes.
- Let cool 10 minutes before serving with the baguette and apple slices.
BAKED BRIE WITH GOLDEN RAISIN COMPOTE
Most of the prep work for this flavorful appetizer can be done in advance. The Brie is rich enough to pair with a tart and sweet compote. To ease slicing, keep Brie chilled until ready to use.

WHIPPED BRIE APPETIZER WITH PEPPERED FIG COMPOTE
This is adapted from a Thomas Keller recipe which uses Brie de Meaux and Tellicherry peppercorns. It is, for those of us mortals who have neither item at our fingertips, quite delicious with plain old good quality brie and freshly ground black pepper. Another recipe which looks long and complicated, but it is really pretty simple and can be done in bits, and then assembled at the last moment before serving.

Steps:
- Put the figs and wine in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer, stirring constantly, until most of the Port has reduced, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and reserve.
- Remove the rind from the Brie; you should have about 8 ounces left.
- Put the cold cheese into a mixer with a paddle attachment and beat at medium speed, scraping down the sides from time to time, for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is very white and creamy; beat in the pepper; this can be refrigerated until you are ready to assemble the 'stack.'.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
- Drizzle about one-eighth teaspoon of balsamic vinegar over each slice of baguette in a thin line, brush lightly with oil on both sides and cook each side until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Brown the bread in batches.
- Remove from the heat and reserve (the bread can be stored in a plastic bag or container until needed).
- For each serving put a slice of toasted bread ('crouton') on the plate, then angle a quenelle (an oval of cheese shaped with two spoons) of Brie over the crouton.
- Top with a second crouton and another quenelle of Brie, then another crouton. Place about a tablespoon of the fig compote and a sprinkle of sea salt next to the stack and serve immediately.
- Serve the six 'stacks' immediately.
