Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions

1 sheet puff pastry dough, thawed

1 wheel of Brie cheese, about 6“ in diameter

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 medium onion, small diced

1 Tbsp butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 350˚ on Pure Convection™. Cut off top rind of Brie. Place in the center of puff pastry dough. Fold the corners of the dough above the cheese, until it is completely covered. Make sure there are no uncovered pieces of cheese. Brush puff pastry with egg. Bake until puff pastry has risen and is a light golden brown. While the puff pastry is baking, prepare the caramelized onions. In a medium sauté pan, melt butter. Add onions, stirring occasionally, until they reach a golden brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let the Brie sit for a few minutes, then slice the top off the puff pastry and Brie. Stir the caramelized onions into the soft cheese in the center. Serve with crackers or toast points.

Makes 1 (6 “) round.
