Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 10

Two 4- to 5-ounce wheels Brie cheese
3 tablespoons dried cranberries, finely chopped
3 tablespoons shelled pistachios, finely chopped
All-purpose flour, for dusting
One 8-ounce sheet refrigerated crescent dough
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus whole sprigs, for garnish
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
Honey, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cube each wheel of Brie into 12 pieces. They do not need to be perfect cubes. Set aside.
  • Mix the cranberries and pistachios together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Lightly dust a cutting board with flour. Unroll the crescent dough (it should be an 8-by-12-inch sheet) onto the dusted surface. Using a knife, cut 4 lines down the 8-inch side and 6 across on the 12-inch side to get 24 squares.
  • Place a cube of Brie in the center of each dough square. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of the pistachio and cranberry mixture over the top of each cube of Brie. Fold the corners of each square together, lightly pinching to seal everything in. Transfer the bites to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and brush the top of each bite with the egg wash. Sprinkle each with a little rosemary and a bit of sea salt. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the bites to a serving platter. Scatter the pomegranate seeds around the bites, drizzle with honey and frame the platter with rosemary sprigs for color and festive fun. Enjoy!

BAKED STUFFED BRIE WITH CRANBERRIES & WALNUTS



Baked Stuffed Brie with Cranberries & Walnuts image

One of the most common mistakes people make when serving cheese is not letting it come to room temperature first, so that all the flavors can be fully realized. This beautiful baked stuffed brie takes that principle to the next level.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Cheese     Baked Brie Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small wheel of brie (about 6 to 8 inches), chilled
¼ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup chopped walnuts
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed, plus extra for (optional) design
1 egg, beaten with
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Score the side of a wheel of brie all the way around with a sharp paring knife. Cut directly on the "equator" through the rind. Using a long piece of string or dental floss, wrap the string around the brie on the newly made cut. Loop one end of the string over the other (a half knot). Then pulling the ends of the string in opposite directions, cut the brie in half.
  • Press the dried cranberries on one cut side of the brie, and the walnuts on the other. Quickly put the 2 sides back together with the cranberries on top of the walnuts. Press together and stuff back in any cranberries or walnuts that fell out.
  • Roll out a thawed sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Place brie in center of pastry. Gently pull up edges to ensure you have enough dough to entirely wrap the brie. You can trim off the corners if there is too much dough. Brush the dough with the egg wash. Fold one edge of the dough over the brie and then the opposite side. Fold over the remaining edges and complexly encase the brie. You can trim off excess pieces of dough, if necessary. Flip the brie over so the seam is at the bottom; gently press in the sides to snug the dough against the brie. Brush the top and sides of the wrapped brie with egg wash.
  • If you choose to decorate the brie with cut-out shapes of additional puff pastry, use very cold (almost still frozen) dough to ensure sharp lines. Lightly brush the decorative pieces with egg wash. Place the brie in the freezer for one hour (this is a crucial step; see note below).
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the brie on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the center rack in preheated oven until it is browned and leaking cheese, about 20 minutes. (Only rarely does the brie not leak through, but 20 to 25 minutes is about how long it takes to melt the cheese and brown the pastry.)

CRANBERRY BRIE SHEET PAN BISCUITS



Cranberry Brie Sheet Pan Biscuits image

These shortcut biscuits skip the rolling and cutting of typical biscuits, but deliver the same flaky, tender, golden results we all love. This version is jazzed up with a trio of herbs, savory Brie cheese and sweet cranberries for a festive addition to a holiday brunch or dinner. You can make the dough and spread it on the sheet pan the night before, so you've only got to pop them in the oven on the day of your event.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 24 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons fine salt
2 1/2 sticks (20 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for serving
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, plus more for brushing
8 ounces Brie, cut into small pieces
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/4 cup honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and 2 teaspoons of the salt in a large bowl. Rub 4 tablespoons of the butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 16 tablespoons butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized bits of butter remain. Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough. (Don't overmix the dough.)
  • Add the Brie, parsley, cranberries, chives and thyme to the bowl and gently mix with lightly floured hands, folding the dough over itself (this is where the flaky layers will form) until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto the prepared sheet pan and use lightly floured hands to evenly distribute the dough into the pan. Using a paring knife, gently score 24 squares on top of the dough, making sure the knife does not cut through to the bottom of the biscuit. (If baking the biscuits the following day, cover gently with plastic wrap at this point and refrigerate up to 24 hours.)
  • Brush the top of the dough with more buttermilk. Bake until the biscuit top is lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then use a paring knife to follow the score marks to cut through the biscuits.
  • Meanwhile, mix the honey with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the honey over the warm biscuits. Serve the biscuits warm or at room temperature with more butter, if desired.

BAKED BRIE WITH QUICK CRANBERRY JAM



Baked Brie With Quick Cranberry Jam image

Likely to be a hit at any party, this recipe updates the classic brie en croute with a sweet and savory cranberry jam that's simple to put together. The trick here is to trim the dough as you wrap the brie: Too many layers of overlapping dough and the pastry won't cook through. This is an excellent make-ahead appetizer since the puff pastry-wrapped brie can be assembled up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Brush the exterior with egg wash just before baking, for best results, and serve warm.

Categories     finger foods, pastries, appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots (about 2 shallots)
1 cup whole fresh cranberries or frozen cranberries
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest and 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 1 orange)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
1 sheet puff pastry (about 8 ounces), defrosted and chilled
1 (8-ounce) wheel of brie
1 large egg
Honey, for serving (optional)
Finely chopped pistachios, for serving (optional)
Baguette slices or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly caramelized, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the cranberries, orange juice, sugar and salt, then stir and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is very thick and the liquid in the pan has completely evaporated. Stir in the orange zest and transfer to a small bowl to cool completely. (The jam may be made up to 1 day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.)
  • When you are ready to bake the brie, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Working quickly, unfold the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured piece of parchment. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll it out to an 11-by-11-inch square (the pastry should be about 1/8-inch thick). Place the brie in the center of the pastry. Use a paring knife, and leaving a 3 to 3 1/2-inch border, trim the pastry to form a circle around the brie. Discard the scraps or save them for another use.
  • Spoon the reserved cranberry jam on top of the brie, spreading it into an even layer about 1/4-inch thick. (You might not use all the jam.)
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the pastry border lightly with egg wash, then lift the puff pastry to wrap the brie snugly, one side at a time, trimming the pastry so you don't have too many overlapping layers. Press all sides of the brie firmly, making sure to tightly seal any seams in the pastry with your hands. Transfer the puff-pastry wrapped brie and the parchment to a sheet pan. At this point, if the pastry has warmed up considerably, place the brie in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill slightly before baking. (You can assemble the brie up to this point and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before brushing on the egg wash and baking.)
  • Brush the whole exterior of the pastry generously with egg wash, then bake until the pastry has puffed and is golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
  • Drizzle the brie with honey and sprinkle with pistachios, if using. Allow to cool for about 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into it, so the cheese has time to firm up slightly. Serve warm with baguette slices or crackers.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Brie: Choose a ripe brie with a soft, creamy texture. Avoid brie with any signs of mold or discoloration.
  • Preparing the Brie: Make sure to remove the rind from the brie before baking. This will help the brie to melt evenly and prevent the rind from burning.
  • Baking the Brie: Bake the brie in a preheated oven until it is melted and gooey. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the brie, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
  • Adding the Cranberry Rum Mixture: Once the brie is melted, top it with the cranberry rum mixture. The mixture should be made with fresh cranberries, rum, orange zest, and brown sugar.
  • Serving the Brie: Serve the brie immediately, while it is still warm and melted. You can serve it with crackers, bread, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Cranberry Rum Brie is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy brie, sweet and tangy cranberry rum mixture, and crunchy pecans, this dish is sure to be a hit. Follow these tips to make the best Cranberry Rum Brie possible and enjoy a delightful treat that you and your guests will love.
