Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 demi baguette, thinly sliced on the bias
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
1/3 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
3 tablespoons store-bought basil pesto
1 large egg
All-purpose flour, for dusting
One sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce box), thawed
One 8-ounce wheel of brie
Crackers, sliced red bell peppers and endive, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 350°F.
  • Brush both sides of the sliced bread with the olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Transfer to the air fryer basket, shingling the slices so they all fit snuggly. Air fry until golden brown and toasted, flipping halfway through, about 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the artichokes, sundried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the pesto in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Set aside. Whisk the egg with a splash of water in a small bowl and set the egg wash aside.
  • Dust a clean worksurface or cutting board lightly with flour. Roll out the puff pastry to a 14-by-12-inch rectangle. Cut 1/4-inch-wide strips of dough off the shorter end to create a 12-by-12-inch square, reserving the strips for decorating.
  • Brush the center of the square of puff pastry lightly with the egg wash. Lay the reserved strips at an angle in a crisscross pattern in the center of the square of pastry, 4 going in one direction and 4 in the other. Press down gently to adhere. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the puff pastry, then use the parchment paper to help flip the whole thing over so the crisscross pattern is now facing down.
  • Spoon the artichoke-sundried tomato mixture into the center of the dough, then top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of pesto and the wheel of brie. Fold the puff pastry up and over the brie, brushing the edges with a little egg wash and pinching to seal. Flip the puff pastry-wrapped brie over so the crisscross design is now on top. Brush the entire exterior of the pastry with the egg wash, then refrigerate until the pastry is chilled, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 375°F. Place the brie in the center of the air fryer basket and air fry until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through, about 18 minutes.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes, then serve warm with the toasted bread, crackers, sliced bell peppers and endive.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatoes and fresh basil: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your Panini. Look for ripe, juicy tomatoes and fresh, aromatic basil.
  • Use a good quality pesto: If you have time, making your own pesto is a great way to control the ingredients and flavor. However, if you're short on time, a store-bought pesto can also be used.
  • Don't overcrowd the Panini press: If you try to fit too much filling into your Panini, it will be difficult to close the press and the Panini will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the Panini over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bread from burning and the filling from becoming too dry.
  • Let the Panini rest for a few minutes before slicing: This will allow the cheese to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

A Brie, Pesto, and Tomato Panini is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or dinner. With its combination of creamy Brie, flavorful pesto, and juicy tomatoes, this Panini is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Panini a try!
