Recipe - Brie Appetizer Wreath

1 Wheel (16oz) of Brie
3 Sheets Phyllo, thawed
Pam, butter flavored
4 Oz. Quality Apricot
Preserves* (up to 6)
2 ounce Apricot Brandy (opt)
Melted Butter
Whipping Cream (opt)

Turkish Variation, Americanized

Preheat to 350@f.

Line a baking sheet with Parchment. ALT: Line with foil and spray with
Pam.

Stir the brandy (opt) into the Preserves.

If using, stir 2 T of the whipping cream into 3 oz. melted butter.

Dice the brie in 1" dice. Unwrap 1 sheet phyllo and lay on clean
dishtowel. Spray generously with Pam. Repeat with the other sheets.

Starting 2" from the ends and 1" from the edge, make a 2" wide layer of
brie cubes lengthwise. Top with the Preserve mixture.

Use the dishtowel to roll jellyroll fashion. Fold the ends under and
gently transfer to the baking sheet, forming into a wreath.

Baste with the butter or butter mixture. Bake for 30 min. or until
golden. Transfer to a serving plate and cool a bit. Garnish with a holly
sprig.
