MUSHROOM STUFFED BRIE EN CROUTE
When Sex & the City was on HBO, I hosted a girls' get-together every Sunday night, complete with cosmopolitans and champagne. This baked brie got the most compliments and there were never leftovers. Note that this can be made in advance and put in the oven when your guests arrive - the house will smell good! The recipe is originally from Gourmet magazine.

Steps:
- In a 9- to 10-inch heavy skillet, cook onion in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until softened.
- Add mushrooms, sherry, nutmeg, and salt and pepper, to taste, and saute over moderately high heat, stirring, until the liquid that the mushrooms give off is evaporated.
- Cool mushroom mixture.
- On a lightly floured surface roll out 1 sheet of pastry into a 13-inch square and, using Brie as a guide, cut out 1 round the size of the Brie.
- Cut out a mushroom shape from scraps for decoration, or use any cookie cutter shape.
- Horizontally halve Brie.
- Roll out remaining sheet of pastry into a 13-inch square and transfer to a shallow baking pan.
- Center the bottom half of Brie, cut side up, on pastry square and spread mushroom mixture on top.
- Cover mushroom mixture with remaining half of Brie, cut side down.
- Without stretching pastry, wrap it snugly up over Brie and trim excess to leave a 1-inch border of pastry on top of Brie.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat egg and brush onto border.
- Top Brie with pastry round, pressing edges of dough together gently but firmly to seal.
- Brush the top of pastry with some egg and arrange pastry mushroom on it.
- Lightly brush mushroom with some egg, being careful not to let egg drip over edge of mushroom (which would prevent it from rising).
- With back of a sharp small knife, gently score side of pastry with vertical marks, being careful not to cut through dough.
- Chill Brie, uncovered, 30 minutes.
- Brie may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, loosely covered.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Bake Brie in middle of oven until pastry is puffed and golden, about 20 minutes.
- Let Brie stand in pan on a rack 15 minutes and transfer with a spatula to a serving plate.
- Serve Brie with French baguettes or crackers.
MUSHROOM-STUFFED BAKED BRIE
My husband loves sauteed mushrooms and I love brie, so I decided to experiment and see if I could create an appetizer that we both love. After so many attempts, I came up with this recipe that our friends love, too. I like to serve it with baguette slices on the side, to help scoop up the gooey cheesy goodness. -Arlene Jacobson, Grand Terrace, California

Steps:
- Rinse dried porcini to remove any grit. Place porcini and wine in small saucepan. Bring to simmer over low heat; remove from heat. Let soak until soft, about 20 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer porcini to work surface and coarsely chop. Line strainer with damp paper towel; strain wine into small bowl and reserve.
- Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add crimini and shiitakes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add shallot and stir until soft, about 1 minute. Add chopped porcini and strained wine. Boil until almost dry, about 1 minute. Stir in thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool.

(Alternatively, stack two 12-inch rounds of foil and fold up around bottom and sides of Brie, crimping foil at edges, leaving top exposed.) Mound mushroom mixture atop Brie. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.

Tips:
- To make the puff pastry easier to work with, chill it for at least 30 minutes before using.
- When rolling out the puff pastry, be sure to do so on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the puff pastry.
- To make sure the brie is evenly coated in mushrooms, toss the mushrooms in the butter and seasonings before stuffing the brie.
- If you want a crispier crust, brush the puff pastry with an egg wash before baking.
