BAKED BRIE WITH CRANBERRY CHUTNEY

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 10- to 12-ounce round Brie
1/2 cup Cranberry Chutney, recipe follows, cooled to room temperature
1 sheet puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed if frozen
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg, beaten
Serving suggestions: additional Cranberry Chutney, nuts, dried fruit, crackers
One 12-ounce bag fresh or frozen cranberries
1 Granny Smith apple, grated
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch ground cloves
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the round of Brie in half horizontally, as if splitting a hamburger bun. Lift the top off the Brie and spread the Cranberry Chutney over the bottom half. Replace the top.
  • Lay the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Roll slightly with a rolling pin until the puff pastry is 3 to 4 inches wider in all directions than the round of Brie. Place the filled Brie in the center of the puff pastry.
  • Trim 1 inch from each corner of the puff pastry and reserve for another use or to decorate the top of the Brie. Fold in the 4 corners of the puff pastry so they meet in the center of the Brie. Lightly brush the dough where the pieces meet with the egg. Fold the remaining edges into the center so that the Brie is tightly wrapped.
  • Flip the Brie onto the prepared baking sheet seam-side down. Decorate the top of the round with the remaining puff pastry, if desired. Refrigerate 1 hour. (The filled, wrapped Brie can be prepared up to 1 day in advance.)
  • Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool on the pan at least 10 minutes, then use a large spatula to transfer to a serving platter. Serve with the remaining Cranberry Chutney, nuts, dried fruit and crackers.
  • Combine the cranberries, apple, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange zest and juice and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm or chilled. Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

BAKED BRIE WITH CRANBERRY SAUCE

The combination of tart cranberry sauce and creamy Brie cheese is irresistible! You can prepare it in advance and just pop it in the oven. I use my own Cranberry Orange Sauce (I've posted the recipe on Just A Pinch) which is super easy and so delicious! This recipe also works with Camembert cheese.

BAKED BRIE WITH CRANBERRY SAUCE

I found this on a website called kitchn.com, tried it, and it is very good. It makes a great 2nd use of a little of your cranberry sauce. I'm guessing that almost everyone has had baked brie, but this is by far a great way to do it. Guests will enjoy this at any time of day. I love cranberries, and I don't think that they should be bound to just one appearance on the Thanksgiving table. This appetizer highlights the cranberries (and it uses up leftover cranberry sauce, too). It's a great reason to just make a little extra cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving dinner. Enjoy!

Time 13m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces round brie cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup cranberry sauce (use your own personal favorite recipe)
1 -2 tablespoon packed brown sugar (more or less to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup hazelnuts, unroasted and roughly chopped (optional)
fresh rosemary, to garnish (optional)
assorted crackers, like cracked black pepper crackerthins or homemade harvest cracker

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Peel or slice off the top rind of the brie and scrape out a small amount of cheese to form a shallow hollow in the center. Place the cheese in a small baking dish like a pie pan. (If you plan on transferring the cheese to a serving dish after it's baked, line the pie pan with a square of parchment paper.).
  • Mix the cranberry sauce, brown sugar, vanilla, zest, and nutmeg. Top the brie with this cranberry mixture and sprinkle the hazelnuts (optional) over it.
  • Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the cheese is gooey. This is a delicate process, and baking time can vary. The goal is to take the cheese out after it has softened, but just before it collapses into a heap.
  • If desired, lift the parchment paper and use a spatula to carefully slide the cheese onto a prettier serving dish. Garnish with a rosemary sprig (optional) and serve immediately with assorted crackers.

BAKED CRANBERRY SAUCE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12- ounce) bag cranberries, fresh or frozen
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg
1/4 cup bourbon, or more

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small baking dish and cover. Bake for about 55 minutes. Remove the cover and stir to melt any un-dissolved sugar. Return the dish to the oven and bake for about 5 to 10 more minutes, or until the cranberries are soft and surrounded by a syrupy sauce. Remove the dish from the oven and immediately stir in the bourbon, to taste. Let the dish cool to room temperature, then chill for at least hour before serving. The sauce will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use a ripe brie. A ripe brie will be soft and creamy, with a bloomy rind. Avoid brie that is too hard or has a sticky rind.
  • Score the brie. Scoring the brie helps the cheese melt evenly and prevents it from puffing up during baking.
  • Use a good quality cranberry sauce. A good quality cranberry sauce will be made with fresh cranberries and have a tart and tangy flavor. Avoid cranberry sauce that is too sweet or has a lot of added sugar.
  • Bake the brie at a low temperature. Baking the brie at a low temperature helps the cheese melt slowly and evenly. Avoid baking the brie at too high of a temperature, as this can cause the cheese to curdle.
  • Serve the brie with crackers or bread. Brie is traditionally served with crackers or bread, but it can also be served with fruit or nuts.

Conclusion:

Baked brie with cranberry sauce is a classic holiday appetizer that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make the perfect baked brie with cranberry sauce that is sure to impress your guests.
