Cheese, Glorious Cheese, Part 2: Pastry wrapped Brie

There is a whole world of cheeses to be found, and cheese is a great starting point for the perfect appetizer, or as a dessert.  Brie is an excellent dessert cheese and goes well with sweet. Brie is best known as a french cheese and also called the "Queen of Cheeses".  I was excited to try some Brie and make my very own pastry wrapped Brie with Brie from Whole Foods Market.
 I tried the Belletoile Triple Creme Brie, from France. Not in the traditional round "wheel" but a triangle.
I then bought one tube of 365 Everyday Value croissant dough, fresh Organic Gala Apples and a Sour Cherry Jelly all from Whole Foods Market.  You can find the Croissant dough in the refrigerated milk and dairy section, and the Sour Cherry Jelly is in the deli near the cheeses at the Wichita Whole Foods Market.
Cut the cheese into a square.
Unroll the scored dough and press together to form two squares. Use a cutter to cut the corners off one piece and set to the side. (You'll use these later).
Place your cheese on the cut dough square, and then lay the second square of dough on top, folding the edges around the cheese wrapping it up loosely.
Take one beaten egg and brush the entire thing, place the cut dough pieces on top and brush with egg.
Bake in your oven on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Or until golden.
Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
Slice and serve with the cherry jelly and apple slices.
Very fall and very scrumptious!! I can't wait to bring one of these to my next holiday get together!
You can find a variation of this recipe here.
and a yummy looking version with Phyllo dough.  Substitute ingredients with Non-GMO and organic products from your local Whole Foods Market to serve your family the healthiest safest treats.
