BAKED BRIE WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions image

This baked brie is topped with balsamic caramelized onions and wrapped in puff pastry, making for an elegant yet warm and cozy appetizer!

Provided by Ingrid Beer

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

Olive oil
1 1/2 medium onions, sliced thinly into semi-circles (roughly 2 1/2 cups)
Salt
Black pepper
1 teaspoon brown sugar (or granulated sugar)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus extra sprigs for garnish
1 (8 ounce) wheel brie cheese, cold
1 sheet prepared puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
Flour, for rolling
1 whisked egg, for egg wash
Crackers, sliced baguette, apples/pears, for serving on the side

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 2-3 tablespoons of oil; once hot, add in the sliced onions along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they become deeply golden-brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  • Once golden, stir in the teaspoon of sugar, followed by the balsamic vinegar, and allow the mixture to bubble up and reduce, stirring to incorporate; allow the onions to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently now, until jam-like and deeply browned; then, add the 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves, stir to combine, and remove from pan and allow to cool (you should have roughly 1/2 cup).
  • To prepare the baked brie, lightly flour your work surface, and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to about 1/8" thickness, a bit larger than the wheel of brie (trim the puff pastry a little bit if it's considerably too large for your brie); place the brie in the center of it, spoon over top of it the cooled, balsamic caramelized onions, then fold the puff pastry sheet over top to cover everything, creating a little "package" with pleats.
  • Place the wrapped brie "package" onto a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and very gently brush some egg wash over the puff pastry (avoid allowing it to pool underneath), and place into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes (or even overnight), covering lightly with plastic wrap.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°.
  • Once ready to bake, place the brie into the oven and bake for roughly 35-40 minutes, or until deeply golden and puffed; allow the baked brie to stand for 10 minutes before serving, to avoid it oozing out too much.
  • To serve, add a couple of decorative sprigs of thyme, and surround the brie with crackers, sliced baguette, or even fruit such as apples or pears.

APPLE BRIE & CARAMELIZED ONION TART



Apple Brie & Caramelized Onion Tart image

This apple brie tart starts with caramelized onions and puff pastry. It's topped with pomegranate molasses and juicy arils for an extra pop!

Provided by How Sweet Eats

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 sweet onions, (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
kosher salt
1 sheet puff pastry, (thawed if frozen)
2 apples, (thinly sliced)
8 ounces brie cheese, (thinly sliced)
1 egg + 1 tablespoon water, (beaten together for egg wash)
⅓ cup pomegranate arils
pomegranate molasses , (for drizzling)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions with a big pinch of salt and stir. Cook, stirring often, until the onions become caramely, about 25 to 30 minutes. Be sure to watch carefully and lower the heat as needed so the onions don't burn. I usually caramelize mine over low heat. They don't need to be fully caramelized since they will also cook in the oven a bit!
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sheet of puff pastry on the parchment paper. (Note: I did a fancy twist of puff pastry on the edges of mine, I just used the second sheet of puff pastry and cut it into strips, then twisted them. This is not necessary!)
  • Place the caramelized onions all over the sheet of puff pastry. Add the brie cheese slices on next. Then cover with the apple slices. Sprinkle on a pinch of salt and pepper if you'd like. Brush the exposed edges of the pastry crust with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 2o to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed. Remove and sprinkle with the pomegranate arils. Drizzle with the pomegranate molasses. Slice and serve!
  • This is best served warm. It's okay at room temperature too! To reheat leftovers, I'd suggest warming them in a low oven for a few minutes. But it is best served right away.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Pastries

Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ stick butter
1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped
¼ cup red wine
⅛ cup white sugar
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (15 ounce) package ready-to-use refrigerated pie crusts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and stir in onion. Pour in red wine to cover the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with sugar. Cook and stir until onions are tender and translucent, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Combine heavy cream, mozzarella cheese, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir into onion mixture.
  • Cut pie crusts into 3-inch circles using a cookie cutter. Place circles into the bottom of 12 muffin cups in a muffin tin.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before popping tartlets out of the muffin tin.

Tips:

  • For the perfect crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and almond flour. This will give the tartlets a flaky and nutty flavor.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the crust tough.
  • When blind baking the tartlet shells, use pie weights or dried beans to weigh down the parchment paper. This will prevent the shells from puffing up.
  • For the caramelized balsamic onion marmalade, use a good quality balsamic vinegar. This will give the marmalade a rich and complex flavor.
  • Cook the onions slowly over low heat until they are soft and caramelized. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • When assembling the tartlets, don't overload them with filling. Otherwise, they will be difficult to eat.
  • Bake the tartlets until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the tartlets cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Brie tartlets with caramelized balsamic onion marmalade are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The flaky crust, creamy brie, and sweet and savory marmalade are a perfect combination of flavors and textures. These tartlets are also relatively easy to make, so they are a great option for busy cooks. So next time you are looking for a special appetizer to serve, give these brie tartlets a try. You won't be disappointed!
