Baked Brie

I tried this recipe on Christmas eve and it was wonderful served with apple slices and crackers: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-brie-in-puff-pastry/detail.aspx

You will need:
half a pack of frozen puff pastry
1 wheel of Brie cheese (I used double cream brie)
some sliced almonds
apricot jam

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 inch pie pan.
2. Slice the Brie in half, horizontally. Lay the puff pastry in the pie pan. Place half of the Brie (rind-side down) onto the pastry dough. Sppon some jam over the top and Sprinkle almonds evenly. Spoon some jam on other half of pastry and then place the other half of the Brie (rind-side up) over the almonds. Bundle the pastry dough around the Brie.
3. Once the brie is wrapped in the puff pastry, put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to prevent the cheese from becoming too liquid during the baking process.
4. Bake for about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.


The 1st time I made this, I misread the instructions and put everything on a pie crust (instead of a pie pan) and it still turned out nice :)
