| 1. In a 9- to 10-inch heavy skillet, cook onion in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. | 2. Add mushrooms, sherry, nutmeg, and salt and pepper, to taste, and saute over moderately high heat, stirring, until the liquid that the mushrooms give off is evaporated. | 3. Cool mushroom mixture. | 4. On a lightly floured surface roll out 1 sheet of pastry into a 13-inch square and, using Brie as a guide, cut out 1 round the size of the Brie. | 5. Cut out a mushroom shape from scraps for decoration, or use any cookie cutter shape. | 6. Horizontally halve Brie. | 7. Roll out remaining sheet of pastry into a 13-inch square and transfer to a shallow baking pan. | 8. Center the bottom half of Brie, cut side up, on pastry square and spread mushroom mixture on top. | 9. Cover mushroom mixture with remaining half of Brie, cut side down. | 10. Without stretching pastry, wrap it snugly up over Brie and trim excess to leave a 1-inch border of pastry on top of Brie. | 11. In a small bowl, lightly beat egg and brush onto border. | 12. Top Brie with pastry round, pressing edges of dough together gently but firmly to seal. | 13. Brush the top of pastry with some egg and arrange pastry mushroom on it. | 14. Lightly brush mushroom with some egg, being careful not to let egg drip over edge of mushroom (which would prevent it from rising). | 15. With back of a sharp small knife, gently score side of pastry with vertical marks, being careful not to cut through dough. | 16. Chill Brie, uncovered, 30 minutes. | 17. Brie may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, loosely covered. | 18. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. | 19. Bake Brie in middle of oven until pastry is puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. | 20. Let Brie stand in pan on a rack 15 minutes and transfer with a spatula to a serving plate. | 21. Serve Brie with French baguettes or crackers. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
