Keep it simple by preparing just about everything ahead of time. Ingredients:
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of a 17.3 oz. package) |
1 (8 oz.) wheel of brie |
1/4 cup apricot jam |
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted |
1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp. water |
kumquats and clusters of grapes, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Defrost sheet of puff pastry at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F. Unfold pastry.
2. Center Brie on pastry sheet. Spread jam over cheese. Sprinkle evenly with almonds. Bring corners of sheet together above Brie and twist gently to form a bundle. Tie gathered pastry at neck with kitchen twine. Chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
3. Place Witch's Purse on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush lightly with beaten egg. Bake until pastry is golden all over, 25 to 30 minutes. Place on a platter garnished with fresh kumquats and grapes, if desired. Let sit 10 to 15 minutes before serving; let guests cut wedges.
