BRIE PIE (TOURTE AU BRIE)

Brie Pie (Tourte Au Brie) image

This is the specialty of the Dufour family at the Ferme Auberge de la Recette farm/inn in France, in the heart of brie country. We ate there one day because we'd read such good things about their brie pie. I didn't ask for the recipe because I didn't think they'd be willing to give it to me. But recently, we learned that the farm was featured on a cooking show, and they explained how to make their famous brie pie! If you are unable to find the different types of brie, using only one type will probably work, although the taste might be a little different. Prep time does not include refrigeration time.

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

250 g flour
125 g butter or 125 g margarine
water
150 g brie cheese, de meaux
150 g brie cheese, de melun
50 g brie cheese, de coulommiers
2 eggs
1 cup cream
nutmeg, to taste
salt, to taste

Steps:

The day before, combine flour, butter and a little water to make the dough for the pie crust. Refrigerate overnight (To save time, I sometimes omit this step and use a store-bought crust).
Divide the dough into 2 parts, bearing in mind that the bottom crust requires more dough than the top. Roll out the dough (again, I omit this step when using a store-bought crust). Butter a pie plate or line with parchment paper, then place bottom crust in pie plate.
Remove the crusts from the cheeses, then slice the cheeses. Cover the bottom of the pie crust with the cheese slices, then sprinkle with nutmeg.
Beat 1 egg together with the liquid cream and pour over the brie slices.
Cover with the top pie crust, carefully sealing the edges and cutting a few small slits in the top crust.
Beat remaining egg together with a dash of salt and brush over top crust to make it golden brown during baking.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes. Serve warm with a green salad.

SALMON AND BRIE PIE

Salmon and Brie Pie image

Russ and I bought individual ones of these in Tasmania. This is my attempt to recreate them (and I think I got them better than right). I made 1 pie in an 8 inch pie dish using pre rolled sheets of short crust (which is how we get it in Australia).

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 sheets shortcrust pastry
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
200 g brie cheese, cut into small wedges
300 g smoked salmon (I used chunky off-cuts)
2 green onions, green ends only, finely sliced
1/2 teaspoon dill leaves
fresh ground black pepper
milk, to glaze

Steps:

Preheat oven to 200c.
Lay 1 sheet of pastry in pie dish, prick with a fork, cover with baking paper and then pour over a layer of dried beans, rice or lentils and bake in the oven for about 12 minutes. Remove, remove the foil and filling (and discard or save for your next pie.).
Meanwhile, melt the butter, add the diced onion and cook until softened but not coloured. Add the flour and cook, stirring for about a minute. Add the milk and whisk until smooth and thickened.
Remove from the heat and add in the lemon juice, salmon, brie, green onion, dill leaves and pepper (I tasted here and found it didn't need any salt).
Brush a little milk around the edge of the pastry bottom, pop on the top and trim to fit your pie dish. Brush more milk across the top. Prick a few holes in the top pastry to allow steam to escape.
Cook for 10 minutes at 200c then reduce the oven temp to 180c and cook a further 20 minutes or until golden brown.
We ate ours served with a leafy grean salad dressed with lemon infused olive oil and white wine vinegar.

Tips:

Use a ripe wheel of Brie cheese for the best flavor.
For a more flavorful crust, use a combination of butter and cream cheese.
If you don't have a pie dish, you can use a deep-dish baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.
To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve the pie with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or soup.

Conclusion:

Brie pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, cheesy filling and flaky, buttery crust, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give brie pie a try.
