Now you brie it, now you don't!

Basing the recipe on a few I found online and from when a friend had made it for a party, I made baked brie for a wine and cheese night here at school and it was a HUGE hit -- the entire thing was gone in like 5 minutes, I kid you not! ... ahhh grad students, will never let you down when it comes to making food disappear :-) But ser-brie-ously, its A-mazing and perfect for superbowl parties.

Baked Brie in Puff Pastry

Ingredients

1 large wheel of brie cheese of your choice

Handful of dried cranberries

Handful of sliced almonds

1 puff pastry sheet

Serve with

Fruit preserves

Crackers

Directions

Thaw out puff pastry sheet if frozen. Pre-heat oven to 350. Chill brie in fridge 30 minutes prior to slicing. Slice brie wheel in half horizontally to make two flatter wheels of brie and place on counter rind side down. Sprinkle almonds and cranberries over one half and place the other half back on top. Place wheel in the middle of unwrapped and flattened pastry sheet -- wrap pastry sheet around brie and bundle in the middle. For decoration, make pinpoint holes around the bundle with a fork. Place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Dollop fruit preserves on top and serve with crackers.
