Split a brie in half. Then add these 2 ingredients inside for an appetizer that’s sure to be a hit
Even though they’ll only have a few people over for Christmas, everyone seems to be getting ready for the holiday table. The outbreak and the control measures have prevented any large-scale events or parties.
People are still planning to make the best recipes this year, maybe to forget about all the bad things we’ve all been going through lately.
So, while you are trying a dozen different recipes in order to conclude what’s the best appetizer for your festive table, we’ve found the best one.
This baked stuffed brie is simple to make and tastes great. This holiday season will fill you up and warm your heart.
Nearly 2 million people have watched a Food Wishes film that demonstrates how to make baked cheese.
The tutorial is simple: all you need to do is cut the wheel of brie in half, staff it and wrap it with puff pastry.
In the movie, we watched our friend decorate the top. After that, bake it until the cheese starts to ooze.
Toast some bread and add the slices on top.
But let’s take a closer look at what you’ll need to make this tasty treat, as well as the steps you need to follow.
Ingredients:
- 1 small wheel of brie (about 6 to 8 inches is perfect)
- handful of dried cranberries, chopped
- handful of chopped walnuts
- enough puff pastry to cover (1/8-inch thick), plus extra for design
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
Put the cheese together. Cut the wheel of cheese in half with kitchen string or dental floss.
Stuff the cheese with the figs and walnuts. Place some cranberries on one side and press them down. On the other side, do it again with walnuts. Press down on both sides.
While you wait, let some puff pastry thaw and lay out one sheet on your work surface.
Make sure there isn’t too much biscuit. Use egg wash to cover the cheese with dough. Wrap the cheese up. To make it look better, flip it over and put it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
If you want, you can use the extra puff pastry to decorate the top of the wheel. In this case, the cook has selected a bush and grapes.
Ready to bake? Not really.
Proceed to freeze the cheese for an hour. Set the oven to 425 degrees.
Put the cheese on a baking sheet and place it in the middle of the oven. Bake for twenty minutes.
See if cheese starts to leak around the wheel. This is a safe method to determine the cheese’s doneness. It’s possible to finish cheese without leaking, but it rarely happens.
Once the cheese has finished cooking, remove it from the oven. You don’t have to wait for it to cool down, which is positive news. No, you can enjoy it hot and soft, just as you should.
On a cold winter night, the rich, gooey cheese and sweet, sour filling spread on warm, toasted bread is just what you need.
