Brie en Croute; golden puff pastry filled with Brie cheese and surrounded by yellpear and red apple slicesI make this Brie en Croute every time I host a holiday as an appetizer. It’s always one of the favorites and goes quickly. It’s surprisingly easier to make than you would think.You can top the Brie with some Pecan Praline Sauce (pictured here), Pear and Cranberry Chutney, Fig jam, or any other topping before wrapping to make it extra special, or just leave it plain, either way is delicious. Serve it with some sliced pears and apples, crackers, or Pita chips.
