Trinity's Favorite Baked Brie

I used to make our baked brie with Bourbon. Just for Dave & I, you know, special appetiser.... romantic night..... by the fire or out on the deck.... ahhhh. Then Trinity wanted to know why she couldn't have any ~ so I modified the recipie so we have one for family night too.
Do you remember that old commercial where the mom is making rice krispy treats? Most of her time in the kitchen she is reading & talking on the phone & such - but right before she comes out with the Snap, Krackle, Pop Treats she throws flour on her face. Everyone thinks it was soooo complicated (only we know it isn't.) That's exactly what making this dish is like. Super Easy!! While it Looks & Tastes like it is straight from a bakery shelf. ;o) Amazing ~ Just the way we want them to feel when we cook for them.

Trinity's Favorite Baked Brie




Ingredients
•1 large sheet of puff pastry dough
•1 round or wedge of Brie cheese
(do not remove rind)
•Raspberry Jam, or other sweet jam
(I use Sugar free All Fruit)

Method
* Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

1) On a stick-free cookie sheet, lay out the puff pastry flat; put brie round or wedge on top.

2) Spread jam on brie, fold dough over top, cutting off excess dough. Drizzle maple syrup ~ or hunny ~ and place a handful or so of brown sugar on top.

3) Bake at 350ยบ for 25-30 minutes, pastry should be golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
