JAMIE'S BAKED BRIE
My ex-wife Jamie's been making this savory Brie en croute since way back before we were married. I think she must have gotten the idea from a magazine, but I've never seen the recipe... I just wing it. It can be made with either puff pastry sheets (quick and easy) or phyllo sheets (more work, flakier shell). Serve with fancy table crackers or digestive biscuits.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Stir the shallot, garlic, white pepper, and vermouth together in a small bowl; set aside. Cut the rind off the top of the brie cheese, leaving a 1/4-inch lip around the edge. Place the brie cheese onto a baking sheet, and spoon the shallot mixture over top. Fold the phyllo sheets in half to make square pieces. Wrap the brie with the phyllo squares, tucking the edges underneath of the brie cheese. Trim the corners if needed to avoid tucking too much pastry underneath. You want complete enclosure, but without too much overlap. Brush the top with melted butter to make the pastry brown in the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the phyllo has turned golden brown and the brie cheese is very soft, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

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

- 2. Heat skillet, add olive oil and butter. Add onion, and saute until transparent. Add garlic, mix well. Continue cooking couple minutes. Add the mushrooms making sure not to crowd pan while sauteing. Stir frequently so they cook evenly, add more butter if mixture is too dry. Add seasonings, more or less according to your taste, and continue till mixture is softened and mushrooms are browned. Add just enough of Swanson's chicken broth to cover mixture. Continue until liquid is reduced and mixture is thickened and done. Remove from heat and cool.
- 3. Roll pastry out, just enough for brie to fit in center and pastry to wrap over it Slice brie in half horizontally. Lay half (cut side up) the brie on pastry, place cooled mushroom mixture on top. Place 2nd half(cut side down) brie on top. Cover with pastry, starting with opposite corners and wrap. Make like a bundle by twisting pieces of pastry; or turn over and decorate top with pieces of pastry. Brush top and sides with egg wash. Place on ungreased cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate 30 minutes before baking to prevent cheese melting too much; it will still be soft and spreadable. Bake @ 400 for 30 minutes, or until pastry is browned and cheese is soft.

Tips:
- Using a sharp knife, score the center of the brie all around, making sure not to cut all the way through. This will help the brie melt more evenly and prevent it from bursting.
- To make your own savory mushroom filling, sauté your favorite mushrooms with butter, garlic, and fresh herbs until softened and flavorful.
- For a vegetarian version of this recipe, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- If you don't have puff pastry on hand, you can use crescent roll dough instead. Just be sure to roll it out into a 12-inch circle before filling and baking.
- To ensure that your en croute is golden brown and cooked through, bake it for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and the brie is melted and bubbly.
