Try this BRIE, baked in a puff pastry shell!. You could cover it earlier in the day and bake right before the party!. Decorate the plate with FROSTED GRAPES (dip little bunches of grapes into lightly beaten egg whites and then dip into granulated sugar!. Let them dry on a cookie cooling rack)

Defrost puff pastry!. Roll out to 12x10"!. Cut 2 circles the size of Brie; also 2 strips 13x1-1/2" for wrapping the sides!. Whip yolk & water together!.

Cheese plates are a great way to impress especially if you include a few interesting things with them!. I like to serve bleu or gorgonzola cheese with something sweet to contrast like honey or cranberry sauce!. Fruit is a good compliment as well, sliced apples or pears with a milder soft cheese like brie!. Go to your local specialty grocery store and pick up 3 or 4 kinds of cheese and 2 kinds of crackers!.

Get some mini fillo dough shells - http://www!.athens!.com/ (and there are some other great ideas on that site)!. For a sweet - try filling them with a layer of cream cheese and a layer of lemon curd or some other fruit preserve!. For a savory, get a can of salmon, take the bones and skin out, mix it with a package of cream cheese, and use that to fill the shells!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Mushroom stuffed with crab!. Mix crab as you would for salad!. Brown mushrooms (head side down ) in butter with a little garlic!.

Elegant, looks like you worked on it for hours!. Best of all, they taste great! Enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
