Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
3 sheets frozen phyllo (filo) pastry (18x14 inch), thawed
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 round (14 to 15 oz) Brie cheese
1/3 cup fig or ginger preserves
Assorted crackers or sliced fresh fruit, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. In 8-inch skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Cook walnuts in butter, stirring frequently, until golden brown; remove from heat.
  • Place 1 sheet of phyllo pastry on cutting board; lightly brush with some of the melted butter. Place another sheet of phyllo on top; lightly brush with some of the melted butter. Place remaining sheet of phyllo crosswise over first two sheets; brush lightly with some of the remaining butter.
  • Remove paper from cheese; leave rind on. Place cheese round on center of phyllo sheets. Spoon fig preserves and walnuts over cheese. With both hands, lift phyllo stack towards center and twist in center to make bundle (sheets may tear a little). Brush with remaining butter. Place on cookie sheet. If desired, cut shapes from remaining phyllo dough scraps. Place on top of dough; press lightly to secure.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet on wire rack 15 minutes before serving. Serve with crackers and additional preserves, if desired.

This is a great way to use up leftover brie. I always have a block of brie in my fridge and this is the perfect way to use it up before it goes bad.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts, so I substituted pecans instead. They worked just as well and added a nice nutty flavor.

I used homemade fig preserves and they were amazing in this recipe. I can't wait to try it with other types of preserves, too.

I followed the recipe exactly and the phyllo dough was perfect. Flaky and crispy, but not too hard. I highly recommend using good quality phyllo dough.
