Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces Brie, chilled
1 large egg
a thawed 17 1/4-ounce package frozen puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
For dressing
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon chutney (preferably tomato)
extra-virgin olive oil
2 vine-ripened tomatoes
4 cups mesclun (mixed baby greens; about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Discard rind from Brie and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Freeze Brie cubes, covered, until hard, at least 1 hour, and up to 3 days.
  • In a bowl lightly beat egg. With a 3 1/2-inch round cutter cut out 4 rounds from 1 pastry sheet and fit rounds into four 1/2-cup muffin cups. Fill cups with frozen Brie cubes. With a 2 1/2-inch round cutter cut out 4 rounds from remaining pastry sheet. Brush 1 side of each round with egg and put 1 round, egg side down, onto each filled cup. With a sharp small knife make steam vents in pastry tops. Chill pastries 30 minutes.
  • Make dressing while pastries are chilling:
  • In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard, and chutney and add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Dressing may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Quarter tomatoes and cut out seed sections. Cut quarters into thin strips.
  • Preheat oven to 425° F.
  • Bake pastries in middle of oven until deep golden, about 25 minutes. Cool Brie en croûte in cups on a rack 5 minutes and lift from cups, keeping upright. Whisk dressing to combine and in a bowl toss together mesclun, tomatoes, enough dressing to coat, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve Brie en croûte warm with salad.

I've tried many brie en croute recipes, but this one is my favorite. The pastry is perfectly golden brown and the brie is gooey and flavorful. I love serving this dish with a dollop of cranberry sauce.

Brie en Croute was a hit at our party! The combination of flaky pastry, creamy brie, and sweet jam was irresistible. It was easy to make and looked impressive when I brought it out.
