Brie Wrapped Puff Pastry with Bahamian Jam

Served alongside a generous dollop of Bahamian jam, this flaky cheese-filled puff pastry quickly became my favourite go-to appetizer over the holidays. In part because the creamy flavour of the brie compliments the robust flavour of Tamarind Spice Spread and strikes the perfect balance of sweet and savoury atop a water cracker. Plus, if unopened, the two major ingredients will last a few weeks. So should an evening call for an impromptu night of entertaining this dish will serve as the perfect starter and it’ll seem like you went to a lot more effort than you actually did.

| INGREDIENTS |
Plantation Hill’s Tamarind Spice Spread or Bahamian Pepper Jelly
2 Pound Wheel of Brie Cheese
Pillsbury Original Crescent Dough
Water Crackers

| DIRECTIONS |
Preheat the oven as instructed. Begin by gently rolling out the dough on the middle of a baking sheet, being careful not to break the dough along the stenciled lines. Place the brie wheel at the center of the sheet and fold the corners of the dough so that it covers all visible surfaces of the cheese. Place in oven and bake until golden brown, 15 – 17 minutes. Serve atop a cutting board alongside Bahamian made jam or pepper jelly.

P.S. I can’t take full credit for this recipe, that crown I’ll have to pass to my sister-in-law.
