Baked Brie

Here are a few things that I know how to do with Brie. The picture is of the Baked Brie.

Brown Sugar Brie
This is really good and really easy. The heat carmelized the sugar a little and it is really tasty, but it is easy to eat too much!

Brie
Brown Sugar
Bread and Pears for dipping

Cover a brie round in brown sugar and bake in 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. Serve with french bread and pears.


Baked Brie
1 brie round
dried cherries (or cranberries)
brown sugar
sliced almonds
puff pastry
1 egg, lightly beaten

Slice brie through center in half. Cover with dried fruit and almonds. Sprinkle a little brown sugar over. Cover with other half of brie and push down a bit. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and place brie in center. Fold puff pastry up and over brie, trim off excess (twist to cover).

If making ahead - cover with saran wrap and store in fridge until ready to bake.

If ready to serve - beat with a fork one egg and 'wash' outside of puff pastry. Place in pie dish (it 'leaks' during baking), and bake 30-40 mins at 350 or until golden. Serve with baguette.
