My daughter has taken an interest in cooking, and asked me to show her to make an appetizer for a gathering we had for the Rolling Stones pay-per-view concert last week. This is a great snack to make for the holidays when time is at a premium. The recipe is from Lucy’s Bistro in Hong Kong, and can be found in her cookbook.
Thaw one roll of frozen puff pastry for several hours in the refrigerator. Once thawed, but still cold, cut the sheets into cracker size squares. Place them on a baking sheet and cook in a 350 degree oven until light brown and flaky.
As the pastry cools on the baking sheets, soften a half cup of chopped red onion over heat with a little oil, and chop up a half cup of walnuts. Slice up a wheel of Brie, and layer the cheese, onion and walnuts on the pastry crackers, topping with a bit of pepper.
Place the appetizers back in the 350 degree oven until the Brie begins to melt. Transfer to fancy serving plates and pass around!
