Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary, plus rosemary sprigs, for garnish
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup red wine, such as Cabernet
1 large egg

All-purpose flour, for dusting
One 8-ounce wheel of Brie
Dried cranberries, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.

Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper, then stir. Deglaze the pan with the wine and continue to cook until the wine has reduced, about 1 minute. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, make an egg wash by beating the egg with 1 tablespoon of cold water.
  • Lay out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and pile the mushrooms in the middle. Place the wheel of Brie in the center. Fold up the sides of the puff pastry to enclose the mushrooms and Brie, folding in the edges to seal. Place the wrapped Brie on the prepared sheet pan seam-side down and brush with the egg wash.
  • Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then top with rosemary sprigs and dried cranberries to resemble an evergreen bush with berries.

JAMIE'S BAKED BRIE



Jamie's Baked Brie image

My ex-wife Jamie's been making this savory Brie en croute since way back before we were married. I think she must have gotten the idea from a magazine, but I've never seen the recipe... I just wing it. It can be made with either puff pastry sheets (quick and easy) or phyllo sheets (more work, flakier shell). Serve with fancy table crackers or digestive biscuits.

Time 35m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon dry vermouth
1 (8 ounce) round Brie cheese
3 sheets phyllo dough
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir the shallot, garlic, white pepper, and vermouth together in a small bowl; set aside. Cut the rind off the top of the brie cheese, leaving a 1/4-inch lip around the edge. Place the brie cheese onto a baking sheet, and spoon the shallot mixture over top. Fold the phyllo sheets in half to make square pieces. Wrap the brie with the phyllo squares, tucking the edges underneath of the brie cheese. Trim the corners if needed to avoid tucking too much pastry underneath. You want complete enclosure, but without too much overlap. Brush the top with melted butter to make the pastry brown in the oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the phyllo has turned golden brown and the brie cheese is very soft, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

14 ounces brie round, chilled (Note this is a larger size, up to 17 oz, which is not available in all grocery stores)
1 large egg

  • Top Brie with pastry round, pressing edges of dough together gently but firmly to seal.
  • Brush the top of pastry with some egg and arrange pastry mushroom on it.
  • Lightly brush mushroom with some egg, being careful not to let egg drip over edge of mushroom (which would prevent it from rising).
  • With back of a sharp small knife, gently score side of pastry with vertical marks, being careful not to cut through dough.
  • Chill Brie, uncovered, 30 minutes.

  • Let Brie stand in pan on a rack 15 minutes and transfer with a spatula to a serving plate.
  • Serve Brie with French baguettes or crackers.

Tips:

  • To ensure a flaky crust, use high-quality puff pastry dough. Consider making your own from scratch or opting for a premium brand.
  • For an even browning, score the puff pastry before baking. This allows steam to escape and prevents the pastry from puffing up too much.
  • To achieve a gooey, melted brie center, make sure the cheese is cold before assembling the en croute. This way, it will melt evenly throughout the baking process.
  • Enhance the flavor of the brie by adding herbs, spices, or a sweet spread like quince paste or fig jam before wrapping it in the pastry.
  • For an extra touch of richness, brush the puff pastry with an egg wash before baking. This will create a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the brie en croute warm, sliced into wedges, accompanied by crackers, fruit, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Brie en croute is an elegant and versatile appetizer or main course that is sure to impress your guests. With its combination of flaky pastry, melted brie, and savory fillings, this dish is a true delight.
