Mummy Brie
INGREDIENTS
- 1(17.3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry
- 1tablespoon butter
- 1/2cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 1/8teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1(16-ounce) wheel Brie
- 1/4cup brown sugar
- 1egg , beaten
Eyes
- Sliced apples
- pecans pieces, craisins, or raisins for eyes
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Thaw puff pastry on the counter for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and unfold.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the pecans in the butter until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Add the cinnamon and stir until pecans are coated well. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a 14-in. square. Cut off corners to make a circle.
- Place Brie in the center of the pastry. Place the pecan mixture on top of the Brie and sprinkle the brown sugar over the mixture.
- Fold pastry over cheese, trimming as necessary, and pinch edges to seal.
- Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, seam side down. Roll remaining pastry into a 14-in. square. Cut four 1-in. strips; cut strips in half crosswise. Wrap strips around Brie, trimming as necessary. You don’t want to make too thick of a layer of strips or it won’t cook all the way through. Discard scraps. Brush the beaten egg over top and side of Brie.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- For eyes, cut two circles from apple slices; place on top of Brie as eyes. Top each circle with a dried cranberry, raisins, or pecan pieces. Serve warm with apple slices and crackers.
