"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
1 (7- to 8-inch) wheel brie cheese
1/4 c. dried cherries
1/4 c. sliced toasted almonds
3 tbsp. brown sugar
2 sheets (12x18-inch) puff pastry
2 eggs, beaten
Directions:
Directions:
1) Preheat the oven to 400º F (200º C).
2) Using a warmed sharp knife cut the wheel of brie in half horizontally and separate the top half of the wheel from the bottom half. Sprinkle the bottom half of the brie with the dried cherries, toasted almonds, and brown sugar.
3) Replace the top half of the brie and apply pressure to secure the stuffing.
4) Working on a well-floured surface, roll out the puff pastry so that it will fully cover the brie. Place the brie in the middle of the puff pastry and fold the excess pastry around the wheel. Put the wheel aside. Roll out another piece of puff pastry and cut out a circle the same circumference as the top of the brie. Save the trimmings for decorations.
5) Using a pastry brush, brush the egg on top of the brie in the puff pastry and place the circle on top. Brush the top of the circle with egg. Cut out decorations using cookie cutters or a small knife on top of the brie. Brush the entire top side of the brie with the egg and place the brie on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
6) Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the pastry begins to turn golden brown, then turn the temperature down to 325º F (170º C) and bake for another 20 minutes. Serve on a pretty platter.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is one of my staple appetizers that I make all the time. I like to make a cutout pastry decoration on top of the brie that reflects the event/season. The brie can be made, wrapped securely and stored in the freezer up to a month ahead of time.
