By AprilPublished Imagine a creamy, gooey, and decadent wheel of brie cheese, baked to perfection and served with a variety of accompaniments. Just the thought of it is enough to make your taste buds dance with anticipation!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a small bowl, combine the shallot, garlic, white pepper, and vermouth. Set aside.
Remove the rind from the top of the brie cheese, leaving a 1/4-inch border.
Place the brie cheese on a baking sheet and spread the shallot mixture over the top.
Fold the phyllo sheets in half to create square pieces.
Wrap the brie cheese with the phyllo squares, ensuring the edges are tucked underneath.
Trim the corners if necessary, avoiding excessive pastry underneath.
Brush the top of the pastry with melted butter to promote browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and the brie cheese is soft.
Serve the dish warm.
If using phyllo, brush each layer with melted butter for a crispier and fluffier crust, though it requires more effort.
