BAKED BRIE APPETIZER
Baked brie is always a delicious appetizer option. I love the use of a pizza crust in this recipe rather than crescent dough or puff pastry. It makes this baked brie a bit more rustic. We added the Grand Mariner to the apricot preserves and it was a great topping. The preserves are sweet and you taste a hint of the orange liquor...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- 2. Unwrap the brie and cut the skin off the top and sides. Leave the skin on the bottom.
- 3. Place the brie in an ovenproof dish (approx. 8 inches in diameter).
- 4. Open the can of Pillsbury® thin pizza crust and remove the dough.
- 5. Cut the roll of dough into 1-inch pieces.
- 6. Roll each piece of dough in a pencil shape, approximately three inches long.
- 7. Surround the brie with the dough, filling the empty spaces and overlapping where necessary.
- 8. Pour enough apricot preserves on the top of the brie wedge to cover it entirely. You may use more or less than the 3/4 cup. You may use whatever jam/preserves/marmalade that you wish.
- 9. Add the Grand Marnier to the preserves. This is an optional step. The brie is just as good without it.
- 10. Top the dish with the slivered almonds. Bake for 18-20 minutes depending on the hotness of your oven.
- 11. When the brie is melted and the pizza dough is a golden brown, remove it from the oven. Let your guests top the crackers with the brie and they'll be happy campers! (I used Townhouse crackers.)
Tips:
- Choose the right brie. For the best results, use a brie that is fully ripe but not too soft. The rind should be intact and the cheese should not have any cracks or blemishes.
- Prepare the brie in advance. To allow the flavors to develop, let the brie come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
- Use a variety of toppings. The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for baked brie. Some popular options include nuts, fruits, jams, and herbs.
- Bake the brie until it is melted and bubbly. The ideal temperature for baked brie is between 300 and 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the brie for about 20 minutes, or until it is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the brie immediately. Baked brie is best served immediately, while it is still warm and melted. Serve it with crackers, bread, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Baked brie is an easy and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, flavorful center and crispy, flaky crust, baked brie is sure to please everyone at your party. So next time you're looking for a delicious and impressive appetizer, give baked brie a try.
