Cook Time: 20 minutes

1 bulb Garlic

2 tablespoons unsalted Butter

1/2 lb. Mushrooms, chopped (I use baby Portabella)

2 tablespoons Dry Sherry

1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg

1 package Puff Pastry

14-16 ounce Brie Cheese

Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Roast bulb of garlic: place whole bulb in aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and bake at 300 degrees for one hour. Set aside to cool.

In a large skillet, melt butter then add mushrooms, nutmeg, sherry, salt and pepper. Sauté over moderate to high heat until liquid is evaporated. Set aside to cool.

Remove all cloves from garlic bulb. Cut brie in half, horizontally. Spread roasted garlic on each half. Roll out puff pastry and place bottom of brie in center.  Spread mushroom mixture over bottom half, then add top half and wrap pastry around whole brie.
