Baked Brie (베이크드 브리)

[kagy]

Ingredients

Yield:8 or more servings

• 1piece of brie or Camembert, 4 to 8 ounces, cold
• 1sheet puff pastry, chilled but not frozen
• 2tablespoons thick jam or marmalade, any flavor
• 1egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
• 1tablespoon demerara sugar (optional)

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a large chef’s knife, cut the white rind off the top of the brie and discard. (This works best when the cheese is very cold.)

2. Step 2

   Roll the chilled dough to about ⅛-inch thick. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Place the brie at the center of the dough square and then spread the jam over the top of cheese. Drape the four corners of the dough, one at a time, across the brie to enclose it. If there is too much overlapping dough, trim the sides before draping. You want the dough to just cover the brie.

3. Step 3

   Brush the egg wash over the brie, making sure it does not pool where it meets the tray or it will stick. Sprinkle with the sugar if using. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 35 to 45 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 8 to 10 minutes before serving warm.
