Instructions
Brie
- On lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry large enough to bundle Brie. Gather pastry edges and tie with cotton twine to form decorative top.
- Place bundled Brie on lined baking sheet (use parchment paper or waxed paper)
and bake in the center of preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Cover tip of bundle loosely with foil, if needed, to prevent over-browning.
- Snip cotton twine and remove before serving.
Bourbon, Caramel Pecan Sauce
- Combine cream, butter, sugars, corn syrup and bourbon in heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Cover and continue to boil for 1 minute to wash sugar crystals from the sides of the pan. Uncover and continue to boil for 3 to 4 minutes without stirring.
- Cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then spoon around warm baked Brie on serving platter.
