Perfect-for-Parties Baked Brie in Puff Pastry with Apricot Jam image

This is a classic dish for any type of gathering, and one we always put out. Imagine a croissant filled with melted Brie cheese and sweet fruit and jam. That's what this dish is. It's a pull-apart appetizer that can be spread on toast points or eaten as is. It's one of those centerpiece starters that is the talk of the party. Puff pastry is a cook's friend. It's great for making quick pastries and even beef Wellington. We always keep a pack in the freezer.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (8-ounce [224-g]) wheel of Brie
1 sheet puff pastry, frozen
3 tablespoons (60 g) apricot preserves
1 small Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and cut into small dice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Using a large chef's knife, cut the white rind off the top of the wheel of Brie and discard. Put the disk into the freezer and at the same time pull out the sheet of puff pastry. Allow the puff pastry to thaw until it is pliable but still cold, about 30 minutes.
  • Roll the puff pastry to a 14-by-14-inch (35.5-by-35.5-cm) square. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut a 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) wide strip from one edge of the pastry. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon (20 g) of the preserves at the center of the pastry and then the frozen Brie wheel. Top with the apple and cinnamon, then dollop the remaining 2 tablespoons (40 g) of preserves on top. Gather the four corners of the dough, one at a time, across the Brie to enclose it completely. Tie a simple knot with the strip of dough to make a purse.
  • Brush the entire top and sides of the purse with the egg wash. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. If at any point the pastry seems like it's melting or too soft, put it in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes before continuing. Make sure the pastry is well chilled before baking.
  • Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, turning the baking sheet halfway through, until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 8 to 10 minutes before serving warm.

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.
