This recipe rates low on the difficulty scale and high on the delivery scale. All that is required is to wrap a wheel of brie cheese in a thawed sheet of puff pastry or crescent roll dough, add a few savory ingredients and bake until golden. The combination of this warm, melted french cheese and crispy pastry is virtually impossible to resist. I typically garnish with Rosemary and serve with a variety of crackers and sliced artisan bread.
