Baked Brie
This baked brie is ideal as a stand-alone appetizer or rich element of a sophisticated cheese board.
PREPARATION METHOD
1. Cut the pu pastry sheet into a square large enough to fold and cover the
wheel of brie. Spoon the preserves into the center of the pu pastry, top
with the wheel of brie. Fold the edges of pu pastry up to cover the cheese,
pinching the edges closed. Turn the wrapped cheese over and place on a glass
baking dish. 2. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, coat the top
and sides of the pu pastry. 3. Place into the oven and select Micro Bake Mode
set to 400°F. Cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
