How To Make brie en croute

• 1

  Thaw pastry sheet to room temperature, about 40 minutes or until it is easy to handle.
• 2

  Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• 3

  Beat egg and water in a small bowl.
• 4

  Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the sheet into a 14-inch square.
• 5

  Stir cherries, pecans, honey and rosemary in a bowl. Discard the apple juice that the cherries were soaking in or drink it. :+)
• 6

  Spread the cherry mixture onto the center of the pastry square.
• 7

  Top with the Brie cheese.
• 8

  Brush the edges of the pastry square with the egg mixture.
• 9

  Fold the two opposite sides over the Brie. Trim the remaining two sides of the square to 2-inches from the edge of the Brie.
• 10

  Fold side up onto the Brie and press edges to seal.
• 11

  Place seam side down onto the baking sheet.
• 12

  Decorate the top with the pastry scraps. Brush with the egg mixture.
• 13

  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until pastry is deep golden brown.
• 14

  Remove from the oven and let stand for 45 minutes.

  NOTE: I like to soften the cherries in apple juice. Let stand till it is reconstituted and pat dry with a paper towel.
