Brie with Apricot Jam

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. wheel of Brie cheese
  • 3 Tbls. apricot preserves (good quality)
  • 1/2 pkg. (17.5 oz.) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg white

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

To prepare Brie, using a sharp knife, carefully remove all of the rind around cheese,

Slice wheel of brie cheese in half so you have 2 circles. Spread apricot preserves on half of one circle of brie. Make a sandwich out of the two halves of brie, so that the preserves are in the center of both halves. Wrap entire wheel of brie with one sheet of puffed pastry and flip the entire concoction onto the prepared baking sheet so seam is on the bottom. Brush the puffed pastry with egg white.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Serve immediately with water crackers (wafer-type).

NOTE: Try raspberry jam for the holidays
