Brie in Pastry with Caramelized Onions


Ingredients:

17 oz Wheel of Brie; chilled
1    Sheet frozen puff pastry - thawed
3 tbsp Butter
3 large Onion; sliced
1 tsp Dried thyme
2 Cloves garlic; minced
1/2 c  Dry white wine
1 tsp Sugar
1 Egg yolk

 
  1.  Prepare caramelized onions: Melt butter in large skillet over medium
  high heat. Add onions, saute until just tender. Add thyme, reduce heat to
  medium and cook until onions are golden, stirring often. Add garlic and
  saute two minutes. Add 1/4 cup wine, stir until almost all liquid has
  evaporated. Sprinkle sugar over onions and saute until soft and brown. Add
  remaining wine and stir till liquid evaporates. Season to taste with salt
  and pepper.
 
  2.  On lightly floured board, roll out pastry to 1/8" thickness.  Transfer
  to a baking sheet.
 
  3.  Halve Brie horizontally.  Place one half of Brie, cut side up, in
  middle of pastry. Top with caramelized onions. Cover with other half of
  Brie, cut side down.
 
  4.  Draw pastry up around brie, holding corners.  Tuck edges in and twist
  corners together to form bundle.
 
  5.  Beat egg yolk with 1 tsp water and brush on pastry, avoiding edges.
 
  6.  Bake at 425o for 20 minutes or until golden and puffed.  Let Brie stand
  in pan on rack for 20 minutes for runny cheese or 40 minutes for thicker
  cheese.
