Baked Brie

Directions

1. 1
   Even before you begin, youll need to let the sheet of puff pastry thaw on the counter.
2. 2
   Take it out of the packaging, and keep it folded on the counter to thaw.
3. 3
   Itll take about 40 minutes.
4. 4
   If you start to unfold it and it kind of cracks, let it sit a little longer.
5. 5
   You could also use some water or an egg wash to seal up any cracks.

    Flip it so the folds are facing down and place on a greased cookie sheet.

    You dont have to overly grease the sheet; you can use a non-stick cooking spray.

    Also, if you prefer, you CAN leave the cheese to bake with the folds facing up, but I didnt do that.
