Kitchen Boot camp– Baked Brie with Cranberries

It seems like forever since I participated in this challenge or maybe it just seems like a while.  For this month, our challenge was to make a Thanksgiving appetizer.  In my family, we normally don’t mess with appetizers and go straight to the main course but I wanted to add one just incase we had to wait for something to finish cooking (this time it was rice).  Unfortunately, I didn’t realize until it was too late that I didn’t seal the pastry dough well enough and the cheese leaked out a little.  It was still good even with the cheese oozing out.  I have seen many versions of this dish.  My favorite brie pairing is figs.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have any around so I decided to incorporate some of the cranberry sauce I had with the brie. 
Baked Brie and Cranberries
Puff pastry (homemade or store bought)
One Wheel of brie (what ever size you would like)
Cranberry chutney (look below for recipe)
Directions

1. Fold out the puff pastry and make sure it is large enough to cover the brie. 
2. Layer about 3-4 tablespoons of cranberry chutney in the center a puff pastry leaving about 2-3 inches from the edge.
3. Place the brie with the skin on top of the cranberries.
4. Fold over the edges, make sure it completely covers the brie.
5. Take an egg wash and seal the edges together (this step I forgot)
6. Bake at 350F for 20-30 minutes. 
7. Brush an egg wash about 10 minutes prior removing it from the oven.
8. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and than serve.

Yeah it kinda looks funny, when I took this, it started to deflate.
Cranberry Chutney
1 package of fresh or frozen cranberries – about 12 oz.
1 Cup of Water
1 Cup of Raw Sugar
Juice of One Orange
2 Teaspoon of Grated Orange Peel
Directions

1. Put everything in a medium sauce pan.
2. Start heating up the pan at a medium-high heat and bring it to a boil.
3. Once it is boiling, reduce the heat to a medium-low heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
4. While it is cooking, you could help it out by breaking up the cranberries.
5. Once it thickens, remove it from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes or until it is completely cool.
