Orange Baked Brie in Puff Pastry Recipe

"I'm always searching and making easy recipes that taste good and I love working with puff pastry. I used the Grand Marnier you could leave it out and just use orange marmalade I'm not sure though if it would be as good. This recipe is by a well-known Canadian Chef named Michael Smith, I have made several of his recipes and have enjoyed most of them. The puff pastry Brie "package" must freeze for 1 hour before baking it."

Original is 10-12 servings

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F . Combine the marmalade and Grand Marnier together and set aside.

Step 2

Place a puff pastry square on a flat work surface and place the brie wheel in the center. Using a paring knife, cut around the Brie to form a circle that is the same size as the cheese. Reserve the scraps of pastry for decorative shapes and set the circle aside.

Step 3

Place the second sheet of puff on the work surface and trim off the corners, to create a large rough circle.

Step 4

Place the Brie in the center, then spoon on the marmalade mixture (There should be an opening at the top of the cheese). Brush the top edges of pastry with the egg and then lay the reserved circle over the top and press down lightly to seal it.

Step 5

Brush the top and sides of the "package" with more egg wash and if you like, decorate the top with pastry shapes.

Step 6

Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour before baking. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden, and cheese is warmed through, and just beginning to melt.
