Fruit - App or Dessert (?) - Baked brie

Ingredients

  • 1 wheel of brie
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 1/4 cup sliced toasted almonds
  • 3 tablespoons of dark brown sugar
  • 2 sheets puff pastry
  • 2 egg yolks

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using unflavored dental floss cut the wheel of brie in half horizontally (ask Eleni how not to cut it in four pieces instead;)). Sprinkle the bottom half of the brie with the dried cherries, toasted almonds, and brown sugar. Replace the top half of the brie and squeeze to secure. Cover the wheel with puff pastry on one side, flip it over and cover on the other side. Place it on a oven tray lined with parchment paper (using foil as we can ascertain makes serving very difficult). Brush the top with the beaten egg yolks and bake for 30 min and turn the temperature down to 325 F and bake for 20min more. Serve hot as a dessert or appetizer.

Sorry I have no pictures but we ate it all so I'd say it was pretty delish!
