Camembert In Puff Pastry Recipe

Cut puff pastry sheet in two pieces, one end with 1/3 of the dough and the other with 2/3 of the dough. The smaller piece should be slightly larger than the cheese.

Place roll of cheese on the pastry sheet and top with cold pesto sauce. Pull up the bottom piece of puff pastry so that it comes up the side of the cheese a little bit. Paint the part that comes up the cheese with egg wash.

Place the larger piece of dough over the cheese, pushing the edges underneath the bottom layer of puff pastry. Paint the pastry generously with egg wash and refrigerate 30 minutes. Remove and paint again.

Bake at 400F until pastry has risen and is richly browned. Allow to cool 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
