Best 2 Baked Prosciutto And Brie With Apple Butter Recipes

When it comes to easy and delectable appetizers that can be served at any gathering, baked brie is at the top of the list. What sets baked prosciutto and brie with apple butter apart is the sinfully delicious flavor combination of crispy prosciutto, creamy brie, and sweet and tangy apple butter. The prosciutto provides a salty, crispy layer, while the brie oozes and melts, creating a rich and decadent core. The apple butter, with its sweet and tangy flavor, not only adds a vibrant color to the dish but also balances out the saltiness of the prosciutto and the creaminess of the brie. The key to making this dish perfect lies in choosing high-quality ingredients and perfecting the baking process to achieve the ideal combination of textures and flavors.

Time 13m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

8 slices stone-milled rye artisan bread, about 1/2-inch thick
5 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup store-bought apple butter
1 pound sliced fresh roasted deli turkey
1/2 pound brie cheese, thickly sliced
1 bunch arugula, stems trimmed

Steps:

Spread each of 4 slices of bread with 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Now spread each with 1 tablespoon of the apple butter. Top each slice of bread with a couple of slices of turkey, cover that with 2 to 3 slices of brie (enough to cover the turkey), and finally, arrange 2 to 3 arugula leaves on top. Spread the remaining 4 bread slices with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and lay them, buttered sides down, over the cheese; press gently.
Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and let it melt to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Add as many sandwiches as will comfortably fit (either 2 or 4) and cook 2 to 3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Flip and cook 2 to 3 more minutes to brown the bread. (Add another tablespoon of butter and cook the remaining sandwiches, if you need to.) Cut the sandwiches in half and serve hot.

BAKED BRIE WITH PROSCIUTTO AND APPLES

Baked Brie With Prosciutto and Apples image

This is perfect for a small gathering where you don't want to serve an entire wheel of brie. You can cut the ingredients down to the number you need since they are served individually on the slices of French bread. I found this online when I didn't want to do the old brie in puffed pastry recipe.

Tips:

For the best results, use a good quality prosciutto that is thinly sliced. This will make it easier to wrap around the brie and will also help to prevent it from becoming too dry.
If you don't have apple butter, you can use another type of fruit spread, such as fig jam or quince paste. Just make sure that the spread is thick enough to hold its shape when baked.
You can also add other ingredients to the brie before baking, such as nuts, dried fruit, or herbs. Just be sure not to overcrowd the brie, or it will be difficult to wrap the prosciutto around it.
To make sure that the brie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the brie is done.
Serve the brie immediately, while it is still warm and melted. It can be served with crackers, bread, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Baked prosciutto and brie with apple butter is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to impress your guests and it is also a great way to use up leftover brie. So next time you have a party, be sure to give this recipe a try!
