- 1 Brin de Paille cheese
- 3 Cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
- Beaten egg or milk

- Stab the garlic slices into the ridges on the cheese.
- Place the cheese on one of the pastry rounds, wet the inside edges with water and fold up over the sides.
- Turn the cheese over and place the the centre of the other round of pastry and repeat the wetting and folding process.
- Allow to rest in the fridge for a minimum of one hour.

Serving suggestions
Serve with salad and Not-for-wimps garlic mayonnaise or any other mayonnaise.
Variations
As well as garlic, you can stab the cheese with herbs such as thyme or rosemary. Having eaten this now, I feel that a stronger cheese is called for as Brin de Paille has a very delicate flavour. Perhaps a very ripe,smelly Camembert de Normandie would be more suitable, in which case, slice the cheese in half, horizontally, and just use the one half.
