Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup dried Mission figs, stemmed and chopped
2 wide strips orange zest (removed with a vegetable peeler)
2 sprigs thyme
3 tablespoons brandy
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Freshly ground pepper
1 piece refrigerated pie dough (half a 14-ounce package)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 7- to 8-ounce wheel brie cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Combine the figs, orange zest, thyme, brandy, sugar, vinegar, a few grinds of pepper and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid is syrupy and the figs are softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl, discard the zest and thyme and let cool, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a food processor or mini chopper and pulse until mostly smooth.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll the pie dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out the outer 2 inches of dough with a rolling pin to make the edge slightly thinner than the rest of the dough. Put the cheese in the center of the dough and top with the fig compote. Trim about 1 inch off the outer edge of the dough. Pull the dough up and over the cheese, folding and pleating the dough all the way around until the cheese is covered. Pinch the dough together at the top to seal.
  • Transfer the wrapped cheese to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the dough with the beaten egg and bake until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board to slice. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BAKED BRIE

This baked brie is a delicious addition to any party hors d'oeuvres.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup pecan halves
3/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 standard packages (17 1/4 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 wheel (2.2 pounds) brie
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine pecans and sugar, using your fingertips to thoroughly mix; set aside. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat (French nonstick baking mat) or parchment paper; set aside.
  • Lightly dust work surface with flour. Place 2 sheets (one box) of puff pastry on the work surface one on top of the other. Using a rolling pin, adhere the 2 pieces of the puff pastry together. Continue rolling puff pastry until it is very thin, slightly less than 1/8 inch thick. Using a pastry wheel or a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry into a 13-inch round, reserving scraps for decorating.
  • Place the brie in the center of the puff pastry. Top the brie with pecan mixture, spreading to within 1/2 inch of the edge of the cheese. Be sure to remove any sugar or nuts from the puff pastry, as they may cause holes to form during baking. Fold puff pastry up and over brie to enclose. The center of the brie will not be completely covered with pastry. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  • Lightly dust work surface with flour. Repeat rolling and cutting process with remaining 2 sheets of puff pastry. Drape pastry over the brie, tucking the edges under to enclose.
  • In a small bowl, combine egg yolk and cream to make an egg wash. Cut reserved scraps of puff pastry into decorative shapes. Using a pastry brush, gently brush the decorative shapes with the egg wash, and adhere to wrapped brie. Brush the wrapped brie evenly with the egg wash. Transfer to refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake brie until golden brown and puffed, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake until dark golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Select ripe but firm brie: A ripe brie will have a soft, slightly runny center, while a firm brie will hold its shape better during baking.
  • Use a variety of dried fruits: This will give your compote a more complex flavor. Some good options include cranberries, cherries, apricots, and raisins.
  • Simmer the compote until it thickens: This will help the compote to hold its shape and prevent it from becoming too runny.
  • Bake the brie until it is melted and bubbly: This will take about 20 minutes. You can check the brie by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the brie is done.

Conclusion:

Baked brie with dried fruit compote is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. It is perfect for parties or special occasions. The combination of the creamy brie, the sweet and tart compote, and the crunchy nuts is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this recipe a try.
