Recipe ingredients

1 Sheet Frozen Puff Pastry, thawed
2 Large Shallots, finely chopped
2 C Assorted Salad Greens
1 Wheel of Ripe Brie Cheese
1 tbsp Tarragon, chopped
1 tbsp Dry White Wine or Vermouth
1 tbsp Chives, chopped
Pepper, freshly ground to taste
1 Egg, beaten

Cooking Steps

Cut off and discard the top rind of the Brie. Combine the shallots, herbs, wine, and pepper in a small bowl and press firmly over the top of the cheese.
Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to make a 10-inch (25 cm) square. Place the pastry over the cheese and fold it under the cheese to enclose it completely.
Turn the cheese over and press the pastry seams together. Turn right side up and brush with the beaten egg. Bake in a preheated 400F (200C) oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
