Grosgrain and Glue-guns: Brie Wrapped in Puff Pastry

I saw this baked brie online and I thought it looked too good to not try! If you remember, I had used only one puff pastry sheet on the Pomme Du Tarte, so I had another puff pastry sheet left over in the freezer. This recipe is so easy to make and requires few ingredients...try it out and let me know how it goes! Mine doesn't look as spectacular, but it was pretty yummy!

You'll need:
1 Puff Pastry Sheet (I use the frozen Pepperidge Farms kind)
1 Wheel of Brie
1 Jar of Fig Preserves

For egg wash:
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon of Water
**For those of you who don't know what an egg wash is, it's just eggs and water whisked together. It acts like a glue, and binds two pieces of puff pastry together, and also gives your pastry a nice shine.

First, take your puff pastry out of the freezer, and let it thaw.

Pre-Heat your oven to 4000 degrees.

Make your egg wash by whisking the eggs and water in a bowl, set aside.

Once puff pastry has thawed, un-fold it. If you don't think the puff pastry is large enough wrap around your brie, take a rolling pin and roll your puff pastry a little thinner.

Spread a generous layer of fig preserves all over the thawed puff pastry.

Place your brie in the middle of the puff pastry, you do not need to remove the rind.

(I spread more fig preserves on the brie, although this is not necessary!)

Wrap one corner of puff pastry up onto the top of the brie.

Brush your egg wash onto the puff pastry you just folded.

Take another corner of the puff pastry, and bring it to the corner where the egg wash was applied earlier.

Repeat these steps of wrapping one corner of puff pastry up to the brie and applying egg wash until all four corners have "cocooned" the brie.

Flip the puff pastry wrapped brie over, so that the folded corners are on the bottom.

Brush egg wash all over your puff pastry.

(Optional: you can use any left over puff pastry trimmings to make a fun design on top-- I tried to make a flat bow, but I was in a rush, and it didn't turn out too hot. Just make sure to attach it on with egg wash.)

Now bake your pastry for about 30 minutes...the oven I used wasn't too amazing, so it was hard to tell how long to keep it in there for... keep it in the oven until the puff pastry takes on a golden brown color.
