Ingredients

  • 1/2  package (17.3-ounce package) frozen puff pastry (1 sheet), thawed
  • 1  round (14 to 15 ounces) Brie cheese
  • 1  egg
  • 1  tablespoon milk
  • 1  teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs
  • Red currants or cranberries
  • Fresh bay leaves, if desired

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Place pastry on lightly floured board or surface. Cut pastry with 3-inch leaf-shaped cookie cutter dipped in flour to prevent sticking to make about 24 cutouts.

  3. Make impression in top of cheese about 1/4 inch deep with leaf cutter; remove cutter. Gently scrape and remove rind from leaf design, using spoon. Place cheese on ungreased cookie sheet.

  4. Bake cheese 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is soft and partially melted. Place cheese in center of pastry wreath. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, currants and bay leaves.

Tips & Notes

  • Success

    Be careful not to get the egg wash on the sides of the pastry cutouts, or you won't get as much puff in the pastry.

  • Do-Ahead Tip

    Make this puff pastry wreath up to 2 days before the party, and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.

  • Simplify

    Use bell- or star-shaped cookie cutter to cut pastry into 24 pieces, but do not make wreath; bake pastry cutouts as directed. Microwave Brie on Medium (50%) 2 to 3 minutes or just until soft and warm. Arrange puff pastry cutouts around cheese. Garnish with fresh thyme, raspberries and crab apples.

  • Special Touch

    Place cheese and puff pastry wreath on slab of marble.
