Brie recipes

One common thing I found that has puff pastry is brie recipes. Brie cheese is this mellow French cheese that can be amazing. 

Most brie recipes are baked so you can get that nice melted cheese to scoop up. Making a brie recipe with that puff pastry was a great idea, however, I wanted to do something a little different.

Sour cherries

Looking through brie recipes, I noticed most baked brie recipes had a brie topping. One topping stood out, a cherry compote. This cherry compote was sour cherries. 

What if I just tuck some sour cherries into the puff pastry with a sliver of brie cheese and bake it up? This would be a simple brie appetizer.

Cool idea. However, in the photos, it kinda looks like the puff pastry isn't cooked through all the way. I'm going to try this, but I will dock the bottom of the dough and try baking it at 400deg so that the puff pastry will "puff". Great idea though...perfect for Thanksgiving.
