PHYLLO-WRAPPED RASPBERRY BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
• Combine raspberry jam. dijon, red pepper flakes and rosemary in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for approximately 1 minute on high.
• Melt butter. Save 1 tablespoon for the end to coat.
• Place a phyllo sheet on parchment paper and brush lightly with butter. Repeat this step until all 12 sheets are layered and brushed with butter.
• Trim and discard the top rind of brie. Place in the center of the phyllo sheets. Spread jam mixture and slithered almond on top.
• Bring corners of the phyllo up and over the brie. The top center of the brie wheel should not be covered with phyllo sheets. Use remaining butter on phyllo if need.
• Bake 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden brown.
• Let stand 20-30 minutes before serving.
• Serve with favorite crackers, pears are delicious, or baguette slices.
• I have also made this recipe in a cast iron skillet on the grill. Spray the cast iron skillet with cooking spray. Place the phyllo sheets in skillet. Place the brie wheel in the center and top with jam mixture and slithered almonds. I would put it on the top rack of the grill to let it cook slowly. If you want it quickly, place on lower rack but you have to keep a close eye on it. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
• * Substitue: instead of raspberry jam you can mix together some peach and apricot jam with the same dijon and rosemary.
