From mystic_river1 17 years agoIngredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil shopping list
- 1 teaspoon fresh shaved truffles or truffle paste (optional)* shopping list
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed shopping list
- 1 small (8-ounce) round (wheel) brie cheese shopping list
- 1 egg, lightly beaten shopping list
- baguette, crostini, or crackers shopping list

How to make it
- Butter a baking pan and line with aluminum foil.
- In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, salt, truffle oil, and shaved truffles; set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out sheet of puff pastry 1/8-inch thick (approximately 15 inches in diameter); using the brie as a guide, cut out one round the size of the brie for the top and cut another round 1-inch larger.
- Using a small cutter (any shape will do), cut out some decorative pieces.
- Halve brie cheese horizontally; spread the truffle cream cheese evenly over the bottom half of the brie.
- Place the top half over the truffle cream cheese.
- On prepared baking pan, center the brie cheese on top of the larger pastry round; wrap pastry up over brie (without stretching).
- Brush border with some egg and top with remaining smaller pastry round; pressing edges of dough together gently but firmly to seal. Brush top with egg.
- Arrange decorative pieces over the top of the pastry dough; lightly brush with egg, being careful not to leg egg drip over edges (this would prevent them from rising).
- With the back of a table knife, gently score side of pastry with vertical marks (being careful not to pierce through dough).
- Chill brie, uncovered, 30 minutes to set egg wash.
- Brie may be made to this point one day ahead and kept chilled, covered loosely.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Bake Truffled Brie in middle of oven 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let stand in pan on a rack about 20 minutes for a very runny melted cheese or about 40 minutes for thicker cheese.
- To serve, transfer to serving dish and serve with baguette, crostini,
