This is another of those appetizers that is quick to put together, yet makes an impressive presentation and tastes delicious. In place of the fig jam, you could use a jam or chutney of your choice, either sweet or savory:Serves 4 to 6
I like to serve this creamy, warm cheese intact on a platter with slices of crusty bread. I then let guests slice off pieces themselves to spread on their bread.
One 12 Inch Round Of Puff Pastry
One 5 Inch Round Of Brie Cheese
1 Egg, Slightly Beaten
1/4 Cup Fig Jam
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lay the puff pastry open on the counter. Spread a 5 inch circle with the fig jam in the center. Lay the Brie in the center of the puff pastry circle. Fold the excess pastry up around the Brie, completely enclosing it. Slightly twist the top into a knot to seal. Place it on a parchment lined sheet tray. Brush with egg. Bake for 20 minutes or until the outside is golden, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and cook for 20 minutes longer. Place the finished product on a nice plate and serve with crusty bread for spreading.
