Savory Brie-En-Croute

Fancy name, but simple to prepare. My friend Shelly enjoys savory baked Brie, so we prepared this recipe for her birthday dinner.

Savory Brie-En-Croute
4 sheets phyllo dough (or 21 sheet puff pastry)
1/3 cup toasted walnuts, finely chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp. melted butter
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
dash of cayenne pepper
1 round (8 oz.) Brie cheese

Preheat oven to 450ºF. In small bowl, combine walnuts, melted butter, rosemary and cayenne. Lay one sheet phyllo dough on baking sheet. Spray with butter-flavored spray and top with second sheet phyllo dough. Repeat until all four sheets are laying together on baking sheet. Spread walnut mixture into center of phyllo dough in 5-inch circle. Top with Brie. Wrap phyllo dough around Brie, using butter-flavored spray to seal edges. Invert Brie on baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes or until pastry is browned. Serve warm with hearty bread.
