Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

1 tb Butter
4 md Zucchini; (about 5 cups),
-cut crosswise, 1/4" thick
-slices
7 Cloves garlic; minced
1/2 c Parmesan cheese; freshly
-grated
1 pk Frozen puff pastry; (17-1/4

Preheat oven to 400øF. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large skillet over
medium- high heat. Add zucchini slices and garlic and saute until zucchini
is tender, about 7 minutes. Cool slightly. Mix in grated Parmesan cheese.

Roll out each pastry sheet to 16 x 11 inch rectangle. Cut five 5 x 5 inch
squares from each pastry sheet (reserve extra pastry for another use).
Press each pastry square into 1/3 cup muffin cup, leaving overhang.

Place 1/4 cup zucchini mixture in each pastry-lined muffin cup, dividing
equally. Place 1 Brie cube atop each. Place 1 prosciutto slice atop Brie.
Gather edges of puff pastry together and pinch firmly at top, forming
purses.

Bake purses in cups until golden, about 15 minutes. Place 1 purse on each
plate. Garnish each plate with chopped parsley and red bell pepper slices,
if desired, and serve.
