Chrissy's Baked Brie
- 1 (5 inch) diameter brie round
- 12 cup butter, yes real butter
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 medium white onion
- 2 (8 ounce) packages crescent rolls
- 4 tablespoons jam, I like apricot
- crackers or French bread, for serving
- Saute 1 stick of butter in a pan with 1 medium white onion sliced into thin slivers.
- Add sugar by the tablespoon to caramelize once onion gets rolling (starts to get cooked, etc.)
- I likely add 3 tablespoons and sometimes a bit more butter to get a good consistency, a bit sticky, not too thin.
- Add walnuts as you caramelize.
- Layer deeper pie pan or circle dutch oven with Crescent rolls.
- (To make a sheet to wrap up the brie later).
- I normally buy another package of crescent rolls to have 4 more triangles to work with to make it look pretty.
- Cut brie circle in half across the circle so that you get two circles.
- Place bottom circle on crescent roll layer, spread raspberry/strawberry/apricot jam to cover circle, then half of caramelized walnut/onion mixture.
- Place second brie circle and layer again.
- Pull triangle folds over brie/jam/onion layers to create a pie look.
- Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 25 minutes at least.
- Crescent roll should turn golden brown and brie inside should get gooey (might even burst out but that's ok and very tasty!
- ).
- Serve over big & sturdy crackers or french bread -- Enjoy!
