Baked Brie
This is a very easy appetizer. It only requires three ingredients, Brie, a package of crescent rolls and jam.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
- Unroll 4 crescent rolls keeping them together and put them on the cookie sheet
- Place the Brie in the center of the crescent rolls, and put a few tablespoons of jam on top of the Brie
- Wrap the crescent rolls around the Brie, cover and wrap with the rest of the crescent rolls
- Bake
Keep crafting & eating đŸ˜‰
