How to prepare the Christmas appetizer:

Use a floured surface and roll the puff pastry in rectangles of 11 X 8 inches. Spread the Brie over the pastry and cover with onions. Sprinkle caraway seeds. Take one side and roll it to the dough’s middle. Then take the other side and do the same. Use a knife (serrated) and cut into slices of half an inch. Place all on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flat all to a quarter of an inch and then refrigerate for a quarter of an hour.

Take a small bowl. Beat the water and the egg. Brush this to the slices. Then, bake everything at around 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes. You know that all is done when the result is golden brown and puffed. The appetizers should be served warm.
