Brie Baked in Puffed Pastry

from The Washington Post, December 13, 1989

• 1 round of Brie (1-2 lbs)
• 1 package of frozen puffed pastry, defrosted
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• A handful of scallions, chopped & sauteed in butter

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll the puff pastry to an even thickness of 1/4 in. Wrap puff pastry around the brie & scallions. Tuck under & cut any extra off. Brush the edges with the egg to help adhere & then brush it all over with the dough.

You can use the extra dough to cut out neat decorative shapes - Mom typically does leaves!

Bake the brie in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

This can be prepared (except for the baking part) and kept in the refrigerator for up to two days in advance.
