BAKED BRIE EN CROUTE



Baked Brie En Croute image

This MY tweaked version of a recipe by Paula Deen (She rocks my world!) AND, this is quite similar to the appetizer at THE CAV that we fell head over heels in LOVE with! I am often torn with brie between "rind" or NO RIND". Speaking from experience, this appetizer needs the rind, or it will simply be volcanic OOZE all over you baking sheet! So, I slice off just the TOP rind in order for the preserves and yummy toasted nuts to blend into the cheese. Also, please feel free to use ANY flavor of fruit preserve that suits your tastes. I listed apricot and strawberry because that's what I have used in the past! : >

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, pre-packaged
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup sliced almonds or 1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup apricot preserves or 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
1 (8 ounce) brie round
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
cracker, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Defrost puff pastry for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and unfold.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Saute the walnuts in the butter until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add the cinnamon and stir until walnuts are coated well.
  • Carefully slice the top rind ONLY off of the brie round.
  • Spread your choice of fruit preserves over the top of the brie.
  • Then place the walnut mixture on top of the Brie ad fruit and sprinkle the brown sugar over the top.
  • Lay the puff pastry out on a flat surface.
  • Place the brie in the center of the pastry.
  • Gather up the edges of the brie, pressing around the brie and gather at the top.

  • Brush the beaten egg over top and side of Brie.
  • Place Brie on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes until pastry is golden brown.
  • Serve with crackers.

Tips:

  • To achieve a golden brown crust, brush the pastry with an egg wash before baking. For a vegan alternative, use plant-based milk instead of egg.
  • To prevent the pastry from becoming soggy, ensure the brie is well-chilled before wrapping it in the pastry. Additionally, avoid overfilling the pastry, as this can lead to a soggy crust.
  • To add a touch of sweetness and crunch, sprinkle some chopped walnuts and brown sugar over the brie before wrapping it in pastry.
  • To ensure even cooking, place the brie en croute on a baking sheet in the center of the oven. Keep an eye on the pastry during baking to prevent over-browning.
  • For a decadent presentation, drizzle the baked brie en croute with caramel sauce and sprinkle with chopped walnuts before serving.

Brie en croute with caramel and walnuts is an elegant and delicious appetizer or main course. With its flaky pastry, creamy brie, and sweet caramel sauce, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
