Baked Brie with Cranberries, Pistachios and Honey

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces puff pastry
  • 8 ounces brie cheese
  • ¼ cup pistachio nuts
  • 1/3 cup cranberries
  • 3 tbsp. honey
  • 1 egg
  • Crackers or French baguette

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 375°F
  • Roll out the pastry sheet and cut it into a circle about twice as wide as the wheel of brie.
  • The pastry must be very cold in order to work with it so, if necessary, return it to the fridge or freezer for a few minutes if it gets too warm.
  • Place the brie in the center of the pastry circle and cut eight evenly spaced, 1-inch slits in the crust all around the outside edge of the pastry pointing toward the center of the circle.
  • Top the brie with the pistachios, cranberries and honey.
  • Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash and begin bringing the flaps of pastry over the top of the brie, to the center of the cheese.
  • These flaps will start to overlap so that the brie becomes completely enveloped in the pastry.
  • At this point, you can decorate the top of the pastry with leaf shaped cut-outs of puff pastry if you desire.
  • Brush the entire pastry with the egg wash and chill for at least an hour before baking on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for about half an hour or until the pastry is evenly golden brown.
  • Serve with crackers or small slices of French baguette.
