Easiest party food that impresses the hell out of everyone.

Easy Brie En Croute
What you need:
Brie (an 8oz wheel is ideal but any wheel or wedge is fine)

A can/tube of refrigerated crescent rolls (I like immaculate because they don't have all the unpronounceable stuff that Pillsbury and the like have)

yummy stuff (fruit, jam, brown sugar, nuts, any combination of these things.

1) Heat oven to 350°F.

2) Unroll dough and separate crosswise into 2 sections.

3) Pat dough and firmly press perforations to seal, forming 2 squares. Not super important if they don't all seal perfectly the cheese has a rind and wont gush out as long as the gaps aren't huge.

4) Place 1 square on ungreased cookie sheet (I like to line with parchment paper or foil because I usually include brown sugar with the yummy stuff which has a tendency to seep out a little and is a huge pain to get off)

5) Place cheese on center of dough.

6) Put yummy stuff on top of cheese

7) Top with the other half of the dough, press dough evenly around cheese, folding bottom edges over top edges and press to seal completely. Doesn't matter if it looks messy, it will look pretty when it bakes up

8) Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

9) Cool 10 minutes and serve warm.

It is best warm but it will retain heat well and is still quite yummy even after it cools so it can be left out for people to nibble over the course of a long party
