Brie En Croute Recipes

Brie En Croute Recipe by Paula Deen 
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (package comes with 2 sheets)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1 small (8-ounce) wheel Brie
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Defrost 1 sheet of puff pastry for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and unfold (place remaining sheet in freezer for later use). Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Gently roll pastry with a rolling pin to increase the size of the sheet 1 to 2 inches in each direction. Brush both sides of the sheet with beaten egg. Center the wheel of Brie on top of the pastry sheet. Bring all four corners of the sheet together above Brie and twist slightly to form a "bundle." Tie gathered pastry with kitchen/cooking string (tie string in the form of a bow), arranging pastry until you are satisfied with the "bundle" shape. Place "bundle" on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Serve with top-quality crackers.










Parmesan Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus

Parmesan Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus Recipe: 
  • 8 or 9 asparagus spears, depending on size
  • 1/2 (16-ounce) package frozen phyllo dough sheets, thawed
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Unwrap the phyllo and cut the stack in half lengthwise. Reserve 1 stack for later use. Cover the phyllo with a damp towel to keep it from drying out. Take 1 sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with some melted butter. Sprinkle with some Parmesan. Place 2 to 3 asparagus spears on the short end of the sheet. Roll up, jelly-roll style. Place each piece, seam side down, on a baking sheet. Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with more Parmesan. Repeat until all the asparagus spears are used up. Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.














Mudbugabeaux N-Brew, a crawfish boil and craft beer festival

12 dollars for 2 pounds of crawfish.  Quite a deal.

One of the bigger crawfish.  Almost looks like a lobster

They had a tub of live crawfish next to the pot.
