Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using a 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. Replace the top half of the brie and apply pressure to secure the stuffing.
- 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.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the egg on top of the puff pastry and place the brie on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the pastry begins to turn golden brown, then turn the temperature down to 325 degrees F and bake for another 20 minutes. Serve on a pretty platter.

BAKED BRIE WITH CARAMELIZED PEARS, SHALLOTS AND THYME
Brie baked in a round sourdough bread bowl makes this ultimately easy! You could substitute a sweet chutney for the topping for even easier prep. I microwaved the final product for a few minutes to speed up the cooking (couldn't wait for it to be ready!)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir for 1 minute to soften. Add thinly sliced pears; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in white wine, brown sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper; increase heat to medium-high and simmer until the liquid has evaporated, and the pears have lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Cut a Brie-sized hole in the top of the sourdough bread to within 1/2-inch of the bottom. Cut the removed bread into pieces for serving, set aside. Score the Brie around it's edge, using a paring knife to cut 1/4-inch deep. Cut in half by looping an 18-inch piece of very thin string, or unflavored dental floss around the scored Brie and pulling the ends in opposite directions.
- Place the bottom half of the Brie, cut-side-up, into the sourdough loaf. Top with 1/2 of the pear mixture and sprinkle with 1/2 of the slivered almonds. Place the remaining brie half on top, spread with remaining pear mixture, and sprinkle with remaining slivered almonds. Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until soft and gooey. Serve with sliced sourdough bread and crackers.

Tips
- Use a good quality brie. A ripe brie will have a soft, creamy center and a bloomy rind.
- Bake the brie in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the cheese from melting too quickly and becoming runny.
- Wrap the brie in puff pastry or filo dough before baking. This will help to create a crispy outer layer and keep the cheese from becoming too dry.
- Add your favorite toppings before baking. Popular toppings include nuts, fruits, and herbs.
- Serve the brie warm with crackers or bread. You can also drizzle it with honey or balsamic vinegar.
Conclusion
Baked brie is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is simple to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create a baked brie that is sure to impress your guests.
