Brie with Caramelized onion, Cranberry & Pecan

Costco had Brie on sale before Christmas.  I, of course, picked one up and asked hubby to pick up another when he was in.  Hubby came home with 2.  So what does one do with 3 huge rounds of Brie?

Tonight, I decided to make a baked Brie.  To snazzy it up, I covered the base dough with cranberry scotch bonnet jelly then added caramelized onions, pecans and cranberries.
Topped this mixture with thick wedges of Brie and then a layer of puff pastry.  As I used a wider sheet for the base layer, I cut slashes in the dough and then layered it across for a criss-cross effect (use an egg wash to get the dough to stick).

Bake this at 350-375 degrees for about 25 minutes or until top starts to turn golden.  If it look done, it is.

Make sure to let it set for a few minutes or your cheese will all flow out when cut.  (I was hungry so I rushed!)

Off to enjoy leftovers and a quiet evening with the family.
