Brie Cheese with Governor's Sauce Baked in a Puff Pastry
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of A Taste of the World’s Governor's Sauce, drained -reserve the liquid!
1 round of Brie or Camembert cheese
1 sheet of puff pastry dough
To prepare:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Roll out the puff pastry dough enough to be able to wrap the whole cheese leaving a little extra to pinch at the top, to form somewhat of a pocket. Place the cheese round in the middle of the puff pastry dough, and top it evenly with the Governor's Sauce. Use the reserved liquid to brush the edges of the dough and wrap the cheese, pressing the edges together to seal them tightly. Lastly, brush the puff pastry dough very lightly with more of the reserved Governor's Sauce liquid.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy with a glass of wine!
