Christmas Breakfast Brie Pastry image

When our kids were little, they would love playing with our backyard neighbor kids. So on Christmas day, after the busy-ness of the season and the frenzy of opening gifts, we would go through the backyard fence gate in our pajamas and share a casual breakfast. We would bring our favorites and some experiments. This experiment has turned out to be a favorite. Even our backyard neighbor who doesn't like Brie likes this!

1 package(s) frozen puff pastry
1 tablespoon(s) butter
1/2 cup(s) pecans, halved
1/2 pint(s) fresh raspberries
1 package(s) cranraisins (snack size)
1/8 teaspoon(s) cinnamon

Steps:

  • Defrost puff pastry and unfold according to package directions.

  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the pecans in the butter until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Add the cinnamon and stir until pecans are coated well. (Don't burn your nuts on Christmas like I did the first time!!!)
  • Place Brie on puff pastry. Place nuts on Brie. Add half of the fresh raspberries, a hand full of cranberry raisins and sprinkle the brown sugar over the mixture.
  • Pick up the corners of the pastry, pressing around the brie and gathering at the top. Gently squeeze together the excess dough and crimp end with kitchen scissors.
  • Brush the beaten egg over pastry.
  • Place Brie on parchment paper on cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes until pastry is golden brown.
  • Serve while still warm with remainder of fresh raspberries and cranberry raisins as a garnish.
