Garlic Baked Brie Spider - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 brie cheese wheel
    2 garlic cloves (sliced)
    2 sheets puff pastry
    3 -4 prosciutto, slices
    2 black olives
    for topping
    4 tablespoons olive oil
    1/2 teaspoon rosemary (chopped)
    1/2 teaspoon thyme (chopped)
    1 teaspoon basil (chopped)
    1 pinch salt
    black pepper (to taste)
    1 egg (for egg wash)
Preparation
    Slice a grid on top of a brie wheel; approximately 4 slits horizontally and vertically.
    Insert thinly sliced garlic in the slots.
    To make the spider legs: roll out a sheet of puff pastry dough; then a layer of prosciutto on top; cut 1-2\" strips.
    To make the spider's head: take a puff pastry dough and make it into a small ball (the size of a large meatball); slice black olives and insert them into the ball to make the eyes and fangs.
    Position the head and brie wheel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    Twist each strip of pastry dough/prosciutto and place them around the spider's body to form the legs.
    In a bowl, mix olive oil, rosemary, thyme, basil, salt and black pepper; spoon the mixture over the brie cheese wheel.
    Brush egg wash over the head and legs.
    Bake at 400\u00b0F for 15 minutes.
