Categories     appetizer

Time 12h35m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1cup walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons brandy, hard cider or apple cider
One 2-pound wheel of Brie (about 7 inches in diameter), at room temperature
1 cup dried apricots, diced
1/2 cup apricot preserves
One 17.3-ounce box (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed if frozen
All-purpose flour, for rolling the dough
1 large egg, beaten
Apple and pear slices and assorted crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and cook, tossing occasionally, until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the thyme, season lightly with salt and toss. Stir in the brandy and remove from the heat. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the dried apricots and preserves. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Place the Brie on the center of the prepared baking sheet and cut off the rind on top. Spread the apricot compote evenly over the top of the Brie.
  • Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a floured work surface. Brush a 2-inch strip down the long edge of one sheet with the egg and line up the second sheet with the first, overlapping the edge brushed with egg so that the two stick together. Flour the pastry well and roll with a floured rolling pin to make a 14-inch square. Trim the corners from the pastry to make a circle (you want to make the largest circle possible). Reserve the trimmings. Transfer the pastry to the baking sheet and cover the Brie. Tuck the edges underneath the Brie.
  • Reroll the pastry scraps and cut out five or six 2-inch leaf shapes, then score them with the back of a butter knife to create simple veins in the leaf. Brush the pastry-wrapped Brie with the egg. Arrange the leaves decoratively on top of the Brie and brush with the egg.
  • Bake the brie until the pastry is puffed and deep golden, about 40 minutes. Let stand about 20 minutes before serving with apple and pear slices and crackers.

BAKED BRIE WITH DRIED APRICOTS AND PISTACHIOS



Baked Brie with Dried Apricots and Pistachios image

Inspired by mincemeat, the dried fruit and nut mixture piled on the brie in this recipe includes warm spices like allspice and pepper, while a bit of vinegar keeps the sweetness in check. Prepared pie dough keeps it all wrapped together and bakes up golden brown and flaky. If you are feeling artistic, save your pie dough scraps and add some decorations to your wrapped brie using the egg wash to secure them.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
1/2 cup apple juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup roasted salted pistachios, chopped
1 round refrigerated pie dough (half of a 14-ounce package)
1 7- to 8-ounce wheel brie cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Sliced apples and/or pears, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the dried apricots, apple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, allspice, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the apricots are plump and all the liquid has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool; stir in the pistachios.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the pie dough on a clean surface; gently roll out the outer 2 inches of the dough to make the edges slightly thinner. Put the brie in the center of the dough and top with the fruit-and-nut mixture. Trim about 1 inch off the edge of the dough, all the way around. Brush the edge with some of the beaten egg. Pull the dough up and over the cheese to meet in the middle, folding and pleating as needed; pinch the dough at the top to seal. Transfer the wrapped cheese to the baking sheet and brush with the remaining beaten egg. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the cheese is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve with apple and/or pear slices.

  • Use a sharp knife to score the top of the brie. This will help the brie to melt evenly and prevent it from cracking.
  • Spread the apricot preserves evenly over the top of the brie. You can use any flavor of apricot preserves that you like.
  • Bake the brie at a low temperature. This will help the brie to melt slowly and evenly.
  • Serve the brie immediately. Baked brie is best enjoyed warm and gooey.
