Baked Brie

My friend Mandi made this several years ago for a girl's Thanksgiving. She made it again this Christmas for the two of us and I realized how much I was craving it so I decided to make it on my own. I didn't let the pastry crust thaw out entirely so when I wrapped the brie it cracked and some of the filling oozed out during cooking, but it still tasted amazing. I made it a again a couple weeks and made it perfectly. I can't finish a whole block but that doesn't stop me from making it lol. Super easy and super tasty! You can use any kind of jam/jelly and any flavor.

Baked Brie (2-4 servings):

Sheet of puff pastry, thawed
1 egg yolk
Block of brie cheese
Jelly or jam of your choice and flavor (I used a homemade raspberry jam)
Crackers of your choice

Preheat oven to 350. Slice off the white rind from the block of cheese. I think you could leave it on if you prefer-I don't like the rind so I cut mine all off. Place the cheese on top of the thawed pastry sheet. Spoon about 1 tbsp jelly/jam on top of the cheese. Wrap up the cheese with the puff pastry like a purse. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg yolk on the pastry all over.

Place the pastry filled cheese on a cookie sheet covered with foil. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is hot. Serve with crackers. Enjoy!
