Awesome crowd pleaser! Make sure you thaw your pastry well and check and double check for any tears or holes in the pastry before baking. Served with water crackers and green apple slices. I put it on a hot plate to keep warm.

    This was a perfect appetizer for a recent party I'd hosted. It is very lovely to look at, very simple to make, and I could eat it every day. I tried it first with raspberry jam, and then made it again with fig preserves. Both were excellent. I've never worked with puff pastry and found it super easy. Because this is such a quick and easy recipe, it will most likely be my go-to treat when I am asked to bring something.

    I had never had Brie before and this sounded really good. I had never used puff pastry before either and this was SOOOO easy. I used seedless raspberry preserves and walnuts and couldn't believe how elegant it turned out. I brushed it with a mixture of 1 egg yolk and 3 T heavy cream whisked together and it got a glossy golden crust. Fast easy and impressive. Thank you!
