I made this for my book club and everyone loved it. I've shared the recipe with several friends. I used a larger size of Brie (from Costco), doubled the filling but the 1 piece of puff pastry was still enough to cover it. In fact, several said they liked this better than other pastry wrapped cheeses because the pastry was thinner. I highly recommend this one.
