To dress up your Brie: Cut 8 layers of phyllo pastry into squares twice as wide as the cheese, brush each layer with melted butter, and arrange them so each layer is slightly off centre, making a pointed circle. Place the brie in the centre, and twist each corner up and around the cheese, leaving the centre clear, making roses with the pastry. Bake for 30 min You can also use Croissant dough for your pastry. Simply arrange the triangles in a circle, place your brie in the centre, and bring each triangle up to cover the cheese...bake for 20 min at 350F

Fun, easy, elegant and sure to please!
