Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the sliced bread on a sheet pan and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until crisp.
- Arrange the 4 wedges of Brie snugly in one layer in a glass or ceramic baking dish. Drizzle the honey over the wedges and then scatter the pistachios over the top. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on the ripeness of the Brie) until the Brie just begins to ooze but isn't melted. Be careful-it happens fast!
- Place the mache in a large bowl and toss it gently with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide the salad among 4 large salad plates and place a piece of the warm Brie with the pistachios in the center of each plate. Place a quarter of the apple slices on each plate fanned out on one side of the Brie. Place 2 or 3 slices of toasted baguette on the other side of the Brie and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the honey still in the baking dish and serve immediately.
WARM BRIE SALAD DRESSING
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Meanwhile, use a paring knife to remove the rind from the Brie. Add the mustard to the saucepan, then the vinegar, and stir well. Add the Brie and mix until smooth; let cool slightly, then add the capers, if using. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful pears. Pears should be firm but not hard, with no bruises or blemishes. Look for pears that are fragrant and have a slight give when you press them gently.
- Use a variety of greens. This salad uses a mix of arugula, spinach, and mache, but you can use any type of greens you like. Some other good options include watercress, radicchio, and frisée.
- Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of vinaigrette goes a long way, so be careful not to add too much. You can always add more if needed.
- Serve the salad immediately. The warm brie will start to melt and lose its shape if it sits for too long. So, serve the salad as soon as it's assembled.
Conclusion:
This three-green salad with warm brie is a delicious and elegant dish that's perfect for a special occasion. The combination of sweet pears, salty brie, and peppery greens is simply irresistible. And the warm vinaigrette dressing adds a touch of richness and flavor. So, if you're looking for a new salad recipe to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
