    2 tsp Dried basil
    1 Round brie (14 ounces)
    1/2 pkt Frozen puff pastry, thawed

    Roll puff pastry into rectangle, 15 x 9 inches, on lightly floured surface.

    Cut out 2 circles, 8 1/2 and 6 inches. Place 8 1/2 inch circle on cookie sheet. Place cheese in center. Bring pastry up and over cheese. Press to make smooth and even. Brush top edge of pastry lightly with water. Place 6-inch circle on top and press gently around edge to seal. Cut decorations from remaining pastry if desired. Moisten pastry with water and attach.

    Bake about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack 30 minutes before serving. Serve with assorted crackers or fruit.

    NOTES : Looks like a lot of work, but it's easy because of the frozen puff pastry.
