Mushroom and Garlic Stuffed Brie

Prep Time: 1.5 hours
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: Party Size Appetizer
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. 
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 
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.  
Place on baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
