Baked Brie

Made by: Marné


1 puff pastry baking sheet
1 egg
1 Tbsp water
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup toasted, sliced almonds
1 (13.2 oz) round Brie cheese

Thaw pastry sheet according to package directions (about 30 minutes room temperature).  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Mix together egg and water.

Unfold pastry sheet onto lightly floured surface and roll out to a 14 inch square. Cut to make a circle. Spread preserves to within 1/2 inches of edge, then sprinkle with cranberries and almonds. Place cheese on top.  Brush egg mixture around edges and fold up 2 edges over cheese.  Trim remaining 2 edges to about 2 inches from the edge of the cheese and then fold those up as well, pinch to a close. Place seam side down on baking sheet and brush with egg mixture.

Bake 20 minutes or until golden.  Let sit 1 hour before serving, and serve with crackers or apples.
