These were Great. I made two batches of these one with caraway and one with out. by far everyone liked the one with the caraway. I soften the brie in the microwave to make it spreadable.I also made these ahead of time. sliced them and froze them on a cookie sheet and then popped them into a freezer bag, so they are ready when I have guest drop in. Thanks again

these were great and i can't belive i forgot to review! i have made these 2 different ways but both the the creme brie, which is easily spreadable even when cold. the first time, i made these with the pillsbury crescent sheet dough in place of the puff pastry and another time i used multi grain tortillas and just made pinwheels out of them. both ways were fantastic. thanks for posting this yummy keeper!!

I made this to take to a party and everyone loved it! Very tasty stuff. Next time I make this I think I will cut the dough in half and roll up and then slice and flatten so they are smaller bite sized pieces. All in all though this is a really impressive dish to make with great flavor. Great recipe keen5!
