Baked Brie with Raspberries...

A few months ago I tried baked brie as an appetizer for the first time. Baked brie in a puff pastry with apricots...oh my....it was delicious.  I have been saving this idea / recipe for a special day.

Today I was getting together with a group of wonderful girls, mother's, nurse's, and best of all friends. Our friendship started many years ago on a labor and delivery unit...all nurse's, all embarking on the beginning of a new chapter of our lives...as new mom's. It is a bond that has held us together through the years....even today as we sat around the table and chatted about our babies entering college, high school, and middle school, we find strength through our friendship. Thank goodness for girl friends!!

And a reason to bake Brie with Raspberry Preserve.....

 Ingredients:
Brie
Puff Pastry
Raspberry Preserve (or any flavor)

 Roll out a thawed piece of puff pastry

 Spread a layer of preserve the same size as the brie

 Place brie on top

 Wrap it up like a present....trim off excess pastry dough...

 Added holly leaves and berries with the extra dough. Rub vegetable oil to top of dough and bake on a greased cookie sheet in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes (until top is golden brown)

 Serve with bread or crackers...

Enjoy!!
