Brie and Herb Cheeses in Pastry

 

1        10x9-inch sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

1   14-ounce wheel Brie cheese

2        4-ounce packages garlic and herb semisoft cheese

1   egg, beaten to blend

1        Tablespoon water

 

Lightly flour a cutting board or similar surface.  Place puff pastry on floured area and gently remove fold lines.  With a rolling pin, roll dough to ¼ inch.  Place Brie in center of pastry.  Spread one package of semisoft cheese on Brie.  Turn Brie over.  Spread remaining semisoft cheese on second side of Brie.  Bring up around sides and over cheese.  Seal cheeses completely and trim off any excess pastry.  Reroll pastry scraps and cut out decorations to place on top of pastry, if desired.  (Can be prepared one day ahead of time up to this point and refrigerated.) 

Combine egg and water.  Brush over top.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Bake pastry until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.  Best when served warm.
