- 1 T. butter
- ½ c. walnuts, pecans or almonds or combination
- ¼ c. brown sugar

- Place the bottom half of the brie on the puff pastry.
- Gently pack the brown sugar on top of brie and then place nuts on top of it.
- Top with remaining half of brie, cut side down.
- Trim the excess puff pastry. Leave about 2-3” border around the brie.
- Save extra pastry to make decorative pieces, if desired.

- Brush the beaten egg/water mixture over the top and sides of brie.
- Place on baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper.
- Using cookie cutters, you can cut designs from the excess puff pastry, like leaves, hearts, etc. and place on top of brie and brush these with egg mixture also.
- Bake for 20 minutes in 400 degree oven or until pastry is golden brown.
- Let sit for 3 minutes before serving with crackers or fruit slices. You can take pepper jelly and place on top of brie and sprinkle with more nuts if you like.
Notes
*****You can change up fillings with different nuts or you can make it savory with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, etc. You can also use different preserves like apricot, etc. Use your imagination!
