Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 35 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 250 g flour
• 125 g butter or 125 g margarine
• water
• 150 g brie cheese, de meaux
• 150 g brie cheese, de melun
• 50 g brie cheese, de coulommiers
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup cream
• nutmeg, to taste
• salt, to taste

Recipe

• 1 the day before, combine flour, butter and a little water to make the dough for the pie crust. refrigerate overnight (to save time, i sometimes omit this step and use a store-bought crust).
• 2 divide the dough into 2 parts, bearing in mind that the bottom crust requires more dough than the top. roll out the dough (again, i omit this step when using a store-bought crust). butter a pie plate or line with parchment paper, then place bottom crust in pie plate.
• 3 remove the crusts from the cheeses, then slice the cheeses. cover the bottom of the pie crust with the cheese slices, then sprinkle with nutmeg.
• 4 beat 1 egg together with the liquid cream and pour over the brie slices.
• 5 cover with the top pie crust, carefully sealing the edges and cutting a few small slits in the top crust.
• 6 beat remaining egg together with a dash of salt and brush over top crust to make it golden brown during baking.
• 7 bake at 350°f (180°c) for 25 minutes. serve warm with a green salad.
