Description

This appetizer was served at many of my Christmas parties over the years.  Enjoy!  (By Rhonda Rae)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pkg Puff Pastry Sheets
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
  • 13 1/5 oz round Brie cheese
  • 1 pkg Crackers

Instructions

  1. Thaw pastry sheet at room temperature 30 minutes.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Mix egg and water.
  2. Unfold pastry sheet on lightly floured surface.  Roll into 14 inch square.  Cut off corners to make a circle.  Spread jam to within 1 inch of pastry edge.  Sprinkle almonds over jam.  Top with cheese.  Brush edge of circle with egg mixture.  Fold two opposite sides over cheese.  Trim remaining two sides to 2 inch from edge of cheese.  Fold these two sides onto the round.  Press edges to seal.  Place seam-side down on baking sheet.  Decorate with pastry scraps if desired.  Brush with egg mixture.
  3. Bake 20 minutes or until golden.  Let stand 1 hour.  Serve with crackers.

NOTE:  To keep from moving this appetizer around, if possible, bake on serving dish.
