BAKED STUFFED BRIE WITH CRANBERRIES & WALNUTS
One of the most common mistakes people make when serving cheese is not letting it come to room temperature first, so that all the flavors can be fully realized. This beautiful baked stuffed brie takes that principle to the next level.

Steps:
- Score the side of a wheel of brie all the way around with a sharp paring knife. Cut directly on the "equator" through the rind. Using a long piece of string or dental floss, wrap the string around the brie on the newly made cut. Loop one end of the string over the other (a half knot). Then pulling the ends of the string in opposite directions, cut the brie in half.
- Press the dried cranberries on one cut side of the brie, and the walnuts on the other. Quickly put the 2 sides back together with the cranberries on top of the walnuts. Press together and stuff back in any cranberries or walnuts that fell out.
- Roll out a thawed sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Place brie in center of pastry. Gently pull up edges to ensure you have enough dough to entirely wrap the brie. You can trim off the corners if there is too much dough. Brush the dough with the egg wash. Fold one edge of the dough over the brie and then the opposite side. Fold over the remaining edges and complexly encase the brie. You can trim off excess pieces of dough, if necessary. Flip the brie over so the seam is at the bottom; gently press in the sides to snug the dough against the brie. Brush the top and sides of the wrapped brie with egg wash.
- If you choose to decorate the brie with cut-out shapes of additional puff pastry, use very cold (almost still frozen) dough to ensure sharp lines. Lightly brush the decorative pieces with egg wash. Place the brie in the freezer for one hour (this is a crucial step; see note below).
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the brie on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the center rack in preheated oven until it is browned and leaking cheese, about 20 minutes. (Only rarely does the brie not leak through, but 20 to 25 minutes is about how long it takes to melt the cheese and brown the pastry.)

BRIE STUFFED JACKET POTATOES
In an internet quest for the recipe for Brie-mashed potatoes, I came upon these little gems. I was only baking for two, so only used two potatoes, however, I forgot to scale down the remaining ingredients, which were slated to feed four (using 4 potatoes). My husband and I both agreed that these were the best things upon the plate tonight. From igourmet.com. Prep/Cook time does not include time for baking the potatoes.

Tips:
- Choose appropriately sized potatoes. For this recipe, opt for medium-sized russet or Idaho potatoes, which will provide ample space for filling while ensuring they cook evenly. Avoid potatoes that are too large or small, as they may not cook properly or become too crowded in the baking dish.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking. This helps steam escape during the baking process, preventing the potatoes from bursting or exploding. Additionally, pricking allows the potatoes to cook more evenly and thoroughly.
- Bake the potatoes until they are fork-tender. Insert a fork into the center of a potato to check for doneness. If the fork slides in easily, the potato is ready. Overbaking can result in dry, mealy potatoes.
- Use high-quality brie cheese. The quality of the brie cheese you use will significantly impact the overall flavor of the dish. Opt for a creamy, flavorful brie that melts well. Avoid using overly firm or dry brie, as it may not melt properly.
- Add herbs and spices to the brie filling for extra flavor. Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a customized filling that suits your taste preferences. Popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
- Top the stuffed potatoes with additional cheese before baking. This creates a golden brown, crispy topping that adds texture and flavor to the dish. You can use grated Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, or a combination of both.
Conclusion:
