This is an elegant twist to an already elegant dish. This baked brie combines the strong but coordinating flavors of brie cheese with pesto sauce and pine nuts. It has a sweet taste and can be eaten alone or served with crackers or baked French bread.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) round Brie cheese
- 2 tablespoons pesto sauce
- ¼ cup toasted pine nuts
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Cut Brie cheese horizontally in half, creating two equal rounds similar to a layered cake. Spread pesto sauce on the cut surface of 1 half; sprinkle pine nuts and brown sugar over pesto layer. Place the other Brie half on top of pesto mixture.
Step 3
Separate crescent rolls and cover entire Brie round with crescent roll dough, sealing all the gaps. Place covered Brie on a baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until Brie cheese is softened and crescent rolls are lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
Cover the Brie round with aluminum foil if crescent rolls get too browned during baking.
