BAKED BRIE RECIPE

BAKED BRIE RECIPE

Baked Brie is always a hit when entertaining.  This winning combination of cranberries, walnuts, rosemary, and honey is easy, elegant, and flavorful.  Bake some today and impress your friends and family.

INGREDIENTS

Brie cheese wheel (8-ounce)

1 cup fresh cranberries

2 tablespoons water

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

1/2 tablespoon orange zest

1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add the water, cranberries, and brown sugar to a saucepan over medium-low heat.  Simmer for 7-8 minutes or until the cranberries start to pop.  Remove from the heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the honey.

While the cranberries are cooking, place the brie on a parchment-covered baking sheet or in a mini iron skillet.  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is soft to the touch.  Remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes.  Use the parchment paper to move the brie to a serving platter and gently spoon on the cranberry mixture, walnuts, orange zest, and rosemary.  For best results, serve promptly

NOTES

The cheese will become soft in the middle when baked long enough. Gently and carefully touch the center to see if it is slightly soft, like jello.  Don’t press hard, as you don’t want hot cheese squirting out.

Let the cheese rest for 5 minutes before piling on the goodies, as it can also bust open as soon as it comes out of the oven from the weight of the toppings.

You can substitute pecans, almonds, or pistachios for the walnuts.

For a super simple, quick solution, top the baked brie with any preserves or jam like fig jam, raspberry jam, or apricot jam.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

There are many combinations to put on top of soft cheese.  It is really only limited by your imagination.  One of my favorite simple combinations is just some honey and fresh thyme.

To reheat, pop it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds (this is where the parchment paper comes in handy) or pop bake in the oven for a couple of minutes (this is where the mini cast iron skillet comes in handy).
