This baked brie puff pastry is rich, creamy, and dessert-like. I'm always asked for the recipe. Raspberry preserves goes great in this as well. Toasted pecans and maple syrup complement the creamy Brie in this hors d'oeuvre. For the best texture, let the cheese cool before topping it with the syrup mixture.
