Baked Brie En Croute image

This MY tweaked version of a recipe by Paula Deen (She rocks my world!) AND, this is quite similar to the appetizer at THE CAV that we fell head over heels in LOVE with! I am often torn with brie between "rind" or NO RIND". Speaking from experience, this appetizer needs the rind, or it will simply be volcanic OOZE all over you baking sheet! So, I slice off just the TOP rind in order for the preserves and yummy toasted nuts to blend into the cheese. Also, please feel free to use ANY flavor of fruit preserve that suits your tastes. I listed apricot and strawberry because that's what I have used in the past! : >
