Baked Brie in Puff Pastry with Caramelized Onions
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry
- 2 yellow onions, sliced
- Olive Oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 - 16-oz round of brie (small)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup Fig preserves (or other that you like)
- Assorted crackers, chopped rosemary and pomegranate seeds to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Sauté the onion in a drizzle of olive oil until caramelized and browned - about 30 minutes. Watch closely and stir often.
- Meanwhile, unwrap one square of puff pastry and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Add the brie and score on top so that the preserves sink into the cheese. Add fig preserves to the top of the brie.
- Add a large spoonful of caramelized onions to cover the fig preserves. You'll have leftover onions so save them for another use.
- Make an egg wash by combining one egg and one tablespoon of water. Beat until combined.
- Fold the ends of the puff pastry over the brie, starting with one corner. Brush the corner with egg wash and continue with each corner until the brie is a neat little package.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped rosemary and pomegranate seeds and serve with crackers of your choice
