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.

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.

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.

Categories     Cheese     Appetizer     Bake     Vegetarian

Yield Serves 6-10

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 package premade crescent rolls
1 wedge brie
1 jar apricot preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 375º. Unroll crescent rolls onto ungreased baking sheet or cutting board. Place pieces of dough in a square shape and pinch edges together.

BAKED APRICOT BRIE



Baked Apricot Brie image

I served this at a Harvest Tea and everyone loved it. I originally found it at reciperewards.com I decided to post it for Zaar World Tour 05.

Provided by Amis227

Categories     Cheese

Time 17m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ounces round brie cheese
1/3 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Place cheese in small baking pan. Spread top of cheese with preserves; sprinkle with almonds. Bake about 10 to 12 minutes or until cheese begins to melt and lose its shape. Serve hot with assorted crackers. Refrigerate leftovers; reheat before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a ripe brie. A ripe brie will be soft and creamy, with a slightly runny center. This will make it easier to spread and will also give it a richer flavor.
  • Don't overcook the brie. Brie is a delicate cheese, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Bake it just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the brie with your favorite accompaniments. Some popular accompaniments for brie include crackers, bread, fruit, and nuts. You can also drizzle the brie with honey or balsamic vinegar.
  • Make sure the puff pastry is thawed. If the puff pastry is frozen, it will be difficult to work with and will not rise properly.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the puff pastry. This will help the pastry to rise evenly.
  • Brush the puff pastry with egg wash before baking. This will give the pastry a golden brown color.
  • Bake the brie until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Baked brie with apricot preserves is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to impress your guests and it's also a very affordable dish. So next time you're looking for an appetizer that is both delicious and easy to make, give baked brie with apricot preserves a try.
