Baked Brie With Brown Sugar

Baked Brie

1  wheel or wedge of Brie
4 sheets phyllo pastry
4tbsp Brown Sugar
1/4 c melted butter, divided

Preheat the oven to 350.

Mix the 2 tsp of melted butter and the brown sugar together in a small bowl and set aside.

Brush 1 sheet of phyllo with melted butter and top with a second sheet. Place the cheese in the middle of the sheet, top with brown sugar mixture. Neatly fold the phyllo around the Brie, using the melted butter as a glue to keep all ends down. Brush the 3rd sheet with melted butter and place the last sheet of phyllo on top. Flip the Brie upside down and place on the phyllo sheets and wrap up the same way.  You want to end up with a very neat package, if there are ends sticking out they could burn.

Lightly brush the entire package with melted butter and place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes at a time, rotating after each interval, until golden brown all over.

Take it out and serve with crackers of your choice or cut up day old baguette.

Variation...
--Spread Red Pepper Jelly over the Brie before wrapping.
--Add toasted chopped pecans to the Brown Sugar mixture
--Use Puff Pastry (1 sheet) instead of Phyllo
