Baked Brie with California Raisins Recipe Instructions

    Bring port wine and raisins to boil in a saucepan, then remove from heat, and set aside to cool.

    In a small bowl, beat egg yolk with water for egg wash, and set aside.

    Divide Brie into two layers and separate.

    Coarsely chop raisins, mix with toasted pecans and spread evenly on bottom layer of Brie. Cover with top half of Brie.

    Roll out puff pastry on lightly floured surface until large enough to cover Brie completely.

    Place filled Brie in center of dough and wrap Brie, sealing overlapping edges with egg wash.

    Arrange on greased baking sheet, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
