How To Make brie en croute

• Step 1
  Thaw pastry sheet to room temperature, about 40 minutes or until it is easy to handle.
• Step 2
  Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Step 3
  Beat egg and water in a small bowl.
• Step 4
  Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the sheet into a 14-inch square.
• Step 5
  Stir cherries, pecans, honey and rosemary in a bowl. Discard the apple juice that the cherries were soaking in or drink it. :+)

  Spread the cherry mixture onto the center of the pastry square.
• Step 7
  Top with the Brie cheese.
• Step 8
  Brush the edges of the pastry square with the egg mixture.

  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.
• Step 10
  Fold side up onto the Brie and press edges to seal.
• Step 11
  Place seam side down onto the baking sheet.

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

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