Baked Brie With Roasted Garlic

 

Recipe By : Linda Matthie-Jacobs, Light the Fire 1998

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : 2Send Mexican

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

7 ounces frozen puff pastry -- thawed

4 ounces brie cheese

1 whole garlic bulb -- roasted

1/2 cup jalapeno jelly

 

1. Preheat over to 400F.

 

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a 9 " (23 cm)

square. Place whole round of Brie in the center and squeeze roasted garlic

onto top of cheese. Pull up sides of pastry and lightly press edges to

seal (there should be sufficient pastry to mold an interesting design on

top). Place on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until pastry is

evenly browned.

 

3. Place whole pastry on serving dish and pour jalapeno pepper jelly over

top. Serve with melba toast, tortilla chips or gourmet crackers. You'll

want to have side plates, forks and napkins available as the jalapeno jelly

makes this a bit messy. Have guests cut into the Brie themselves for their

desired portion.

Notes: This recipe is a blend of flavors inspired by dishes enjoyed at the

St. Francis Hotel in Santa Fe and the Tullamore restaurant in Calgary.
