Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Cut Brie cheese horizontally in half, creating two equal rounds similar to a layered cake. Spread pesto sauce on the cut surface of 1 half; sprinkle pine nuts and brown sugar over pesto layer. Place the other Brie half on top of pesto mixture.

Step 3

Separate crescent rolls and cover entire Brie round with crescent roll dough, sealing all the gaps. Place covered Brie on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until Brie cheese is softened and crescent rolls are lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
