Guests will think you spent hours preparing these appetizers. They are very pleasing to the eye and the taste of Brie, caramelized onions and caraway is delicious. Prep time is approximate and includes the 15 minute chill time.

1 1/2 dozen (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large skillet, cook the onions, butter, brown sugar and vinegar over medium-low heat until onions are golden brown, stirring frequently.
  2. 2
    Remove with a slotted spoon and cool to room temperature.
  3. 3
    On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into an 11x8 inch rectangle.
  4. 4
    Spread Brie over pastry.
  5. 5
    Cover with the onions; sprinkle with caraway seeds.
  6. 6
    Roll up one long side to the middle of the dough; roll up the other side so the two rolls meet in the center.
  7. 7
    Using a serrated knife, cut into 1/2 inch slices.
  8. 8
    Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets; flatten to 1/4 inch thickness.

    Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  10. 10
    In a small bowl, beat egg and water; brush over slices.
  11. 11

these were great and i can't belive i forgot to review! i have made these 2 different ways but both the the creme brie, which is easily spreadable even when cold. the first time, i made these with the pillsbury crescent sheet dough in place of the puff pastry and another time i used multi grain tortillas and just made pinwheels out of them. both ways were fantastic. thanks for posting this yummy keeper!!

    This is the third time that I have made this wonderful appetizer - this time I used a bit more brie and again used a full pkg of Puff Pastry (295 gram) The brie, even when soft, is a bit difficult to spread so I chop it in little bits and distribute it evenly - My friends ALL enjoy this recipe5 Aug 06 As you said people will think you spent hours preparing this wonderful appeitizer - I knew we would like it so I doubled the recipe - I used a 295 gram pkg of puff pastry (this is the size that has 2 blocks in it.), 3 good sized onions, 3 tbsps of brown sugar, 1 tsp rice wine vinegar,Two 175Gram of Camembert - be generous with the caraway. I have 3 dozen going into my freezer. It is so easy, so attractive and so good Thanks Keen5 — Added comments - I made these again and this time I left them slightly under baked so when they are defrosted and baked they will be a perfect color. Another hint leave space between them so the heat can get between them as they puff & bake -This recipe is a regular for my Christmas appetizers Thanks again Keen5

    I had a lot of difficulty rolling, cutting, and transferring these morsels, but am I ever glad I stuck with it! They were terrific. After I mangled the first several, I decided to wrap the roll in saran and let it sit in the freezer for 20 mins. to firm up. That worked well and the rest looked almost as pretty as the picture! I will surely make these again, many times over. Thanks for a real treat.
