Number Of Ingredients 22
Steps:
- BACON & BRIE CHEESE FONDUE Mix the shredded Emmenthaler and Gruyere Cheese and toss it with cornstarch to aid in thickening and improve the viscosity of the fondue. Place a metal bowl over a saucepan filled with 2 inches of water. You may also use a conventional double boiler. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. When steam is visible, reduce the heat to medium. Add the white wine to bowl, and then add the Brie cheese. Using a fork, stir for approximately 30 seconds, slightly breaking up the Brie cheese in the base. Add the bacon and continue to stir the contents of the bowl. Add 1/3 of the shredded cheese blend and stir using the fork until fully incorporated into liquid. Then add another 1/3 and continue stirring until melted. Last, add the rest of the cheese and stir using a circular whipping motion until smooth. Squeeze the lemon juice into the melted fondue and then add fresh ground black pepper. Fold these two ingredients into the cheese fondue 4-5 times. Top the fondue with the fresh chopped scallions. Use dippers such as bread cubes, vegetables, cubed sausage, and cornichons. FLAMING TURTLE CHOCOLATE FONDUE Heat melted chocolate in desired fondue pot. Pour the caramel syrup in a pool at the center of the warm chocolate. Add the rum to the pot and light with a long fireplace lighter. As the rum burns away, carefully stir the mixture together. Garnish with chopped pecans. Use dippers such as fresh fruits and berries, pound cake, brownies, cheesecake, etc. The possibilities are endless so be creative, have fun and enjoy! BANANAS FOSTER FONDUE Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, stirring constantly; or place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring every 30 to 45 seconds. Place the banana slices in the bottom of a warm fondue pot. Pour the chocolate over the bananas. Add the caramel and stir gently. Add the liqueur and rum and stir gently to combine. Keep fondue warm over low heat.

HOLIDAY BRIE
SO delicious, and the topping isn't too sweet. I often make the topping in advance, then just heat the whole thing together right before serving. I usually make this for my annual cookie exchange, and everyone raves about it.

Steps:
- 1. Beat egg and water in small bowl. Roll pastry sheet on lightly floured surface (14" square). Spread cranberry sauce over cheese (large round cheese or small round use judgment of how much you spread,) then sprinkle toasted almonds and place cheese and trim excess and use pieces for decoration on pastry, brush pastry with egg/water mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes and let cool for 30 minutes.
- 2. You can use apricot jam with dried cranberries or other spreads etc.
Tips:
- Choose a ripe brie. A ripe brie will be soft and creamy, with a slightly runny center. Avoid bries that are too firm or too hard, as they will not melt properly.
- Score the brie before baking. Scoring the brie helps the cheese to melt evenly and prevents it from puffing up. To score the brie, use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in the top of the cheese, in a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake the brie at a low temperature. Brie is a delicate cheese, so it is important to bake it at a low temperature to prevent it from becoming overcooked. The ideal baking temperature for brie is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake the brie until it is melted and bubbly. The brie is done baking when it is melted and bubbly. The center of the brie should be soft and creamy, and the cheese should be slightly browned on top.
- Serve the brie immediately. Brie is best served immediately after it is baked, while it is still warm and melted. You can serve the brie with crackers, bread, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Baked brie is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. Whether you are serving it at a party, a potluck, or a holiday dinner, baked brie is a surefire hit.
