Baked Brie Goodness

*You will need a brush for this recipe.

Preheat oven at 425F.

I usually buy a round brie and I cut one inch squares from it. Put about a teaspoon of dijon mustard and a teaspoon of cranberry preserves on each square.

Take half of a sheet of phyllo pastry, brush it with melted butter and wrap it around the cheese square. Do the same with the other half of the phyllo sheet. Make sure it is well wrapped because when it bakes, we want to avoid the cheese melting and leaking out of the package.

Take another half of a phyllo pastry sheet and brush it with melted butter. Wrap the cheese package in it but this time make a bow on top by gently twisting the top so it stays this way. Put melted butter around it to make it hold better.

Repeat until you run out of cheese and phyllo.

Place the little packages on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper and bake it in the oven on the middle rack for about 10 minutes.

You can also do the same thing but with the whole piece of cheese. Slice the whole cheese in half horizontally and spread dijon mustard and cranberry preserves between the two slices. Put the cheese slices back together (one on top of the other) and spread more dijon and cranberry preserves on top of the cheese. Wrap the cheese with phyllo pastry, just like I mentioned but using whole sheets of phyllo. Leave it in the oven for 20 minutes to make sure the whole cheese is melted. Enjoy!
