Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 puff pastry sheet, 11 x 17 inches, defrosted
5 inches brie round
2 tablespoons mick's cranberry pepper jelly (Mick's Wine jellies are great too, Merlot, Cabernet and Chardonnay or try your local vineyard)
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 (8 ounce) box water crackers, Carr brand assorted are great

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut brie cheese in half across the middle horizontally and set top half aside.
  • Spread out the puff pastry sheet and roll it to an 1/8 of an inch thick.
  • Place the bottom half of the brie onto the puff pastry.
  • Smear the jelly on top.
  • Sprinkle the almonds all over jelly.
  • Place the top half of the brie back on the wheel.
  • Wrap dough up and over the top of the brie, beginning with the corners.
  • Carefully turn over the pastry covered wheel, smooth side up and place on baking sheet.
  • Sealed, wrapped edges should all be down on the baking tray.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve with assorted crackers.
  • Looks great garnished with a dollop of jelly, a pepper or champagne grapes when using a wine jelly in place of the pepper jelly!
  • Enjoy!
