Brie en Croute by Paula Dean

This is one of my families favorite appetizers. It's a beautiful, show stopper & very easy to do. I have found that you cannot make it ahead of time. If you are taking it somewhere, wait & make it there.

This package of Pepperidge farm, puff pastry, is found in the freezer section of most major grocery stores. There are two in the package. I love having the second one in the freezer for other fun recipes.
