Stuffed Baked Brie Cheese in Puff Pastry
This stuffed baked brie in puff pastry is one of the most impressive things you can put on a table with absolutely minimal effort. A whole wheel of brie is wrapped in flaky, golden puff pastry with a filling of dried fruits and nuts: sweet, nutty, and fragrant. It bakes until the pastry is crisp and the cheese inside becomes warm and gooey. Just slice into it at the table for that gorgeous, melty pull.
