What's Cooking with Jean
Thursday, October 05, 2006 Bourbon Brie

1/4 cup firmly packed Brown Sugar 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts 2 tablespoons bourbon
1 tablespoon butter
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 C dried cranberries
1/2 (17.3-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
1 (13.2-ounce) round Brie
baguette slices, apple and pear slices, assorted crackers, grapes.

Preheat over to 400. Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in bourbon and nuts and to toast nuts slightly. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and cranberries.

Place puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface; roll out fold lines. Spread brown sugar mixture in a 5-inch circle in center of puff pastry sheet. Cut top rind off cheese; discard rind. Place cheese, rindless side up, in center of pastry on top of brown sugar mixture. (You can also put the brie down first and pour the brown sugar mixture on top of that.)

Wrap puff pastry around Brie, pinching to seal tightly, and place on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, folded side down.

Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until pastry is lightly brown. Cool 10 minutes on baking sheet. Serve warm with French baguette slices, apple and pear slices, and assorted crackers.
