Ingredients:

1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
1 egg
1 tbsp water
1/2 cup apricot preserves or seedless raspberry jam
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
1 (13- to 16-oz) Brie cheese round
1 package (13 oz) Pepperidge Farm® Entertaining Quartet Distinctive Crackers
flour for rolling

Thaw Time: 40 minutes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 20 minutes
Stand Time: 45 minutes
Makes: 12 servings


Instructions:


1. Take out a package of Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets and remove one from the box. Let it thaw on the counter for 40 minutes - or overnight in the fridge. Return the second to the freezer.

2. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

3. Make an egg wash for the pastry by beating an egg with one tablespoon of water in a small bowl with a fork or whisk.

4. Lightly flour your surface and unfold one pastry sheet. Roll the pastry sheet into a 14 inch square.

5. Spread the apricot preserves or seedless raspberry jam evenly over the pastry to within 2 inches of the edges. Sprinkle the dried cranberries and almonds over the jam.

6. Place the brie cheese in the center of the pastry. Fold the pastry over the cheese to cover. Trim the excess pastry from the ends and then press it to seal.

7. Brush the seam with the egg mixture, seal and place the cheese seam-side down onto a baking sheet.

8. Decorate the top with designs made from the pastry scraps, for example, leaves, ribbon and a bow. Brush with the egg mixture.

9. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

10. Let it stand for 45 minutes and serve with crackers.

NO!!! It is not a wax, it is a natural rind that is a great part of the flavor.

How delicious:-) This may be a stupid question, but do I need to remove the wax on the Brie Cheese? Thank you for a lovely clip and any help!

@lavendertwilight08 Go back to your cave troll. Why leave such nasty comments on these videos? What pleasure to you get from it? If you don't have anything nice to say, keep your mouth and your opinions to yourself. If you have a better idea or a better way, try uploading some of your own videos and being a part of the solution instead of a big pain in the ass.
