Yield: 12 to 15 appetizer servings

Ingredients

  • 8 sheets commercial frozen phyllo pastry, thawed
  • Butter-flavored cooking spray
  • 1 (15 ounce) round herbed Brie cheese
  • Fresh herbs
  • Kitchen string

Instructions

  1. Spray 1 sheet of phyllo with cooking spray, keeping remaining pastry covered with a slightly damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Place Brie in center of sheet; wrap phyllo around Brie. Repeat procedure 3 times, inverting Brie each time; set aside.
  2. Layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo pastry, spraying each with cooking spray; place wrapped Brie in center. Bring corners of phyllo to center of Brie to cover, gently gathering and pressing together in center to resemble a package. Carefully tie with kitchen string. Coat wrapped Brie with cooking spray, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  3. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes or until golden, shielding top of pastry with aluminum foil the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
  4. Remove from oven; let stand about 20 minutes before serving.
  5. Remove string, and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
  6. Serve with crackers.
