Best Baked Brie With Apricot Jam Recipes

BAKED BRIE RECIPE WITH JAM AND NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the fig jam in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 30 seconds to soften.
• In a small bowl, combine the sliced dried figs with the nuts. Add half of the fig jam and mix well to coat the nut mixture.
• Place the round of brie in a small cast iron skillet or oven-safe dish. Using a small knife, coat the brie with the remainder of the jam or honey.
• Top the brie with the fig and nut mixture.
• Place the dish or skillet on top of a baking sheet (this will make it easier to handle and will also catch any melted cheese). Bake on the middle rack of your heated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until the brie softens.
• Remove from the oven and let the brie sit for 3 to 5 minutes or so. Serve warm with your favorite crackers!

BAKED BRIE WITH APRICOT JAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Alternatively, use a small 6 inch cast iron skillet or pie pan.
• Unwrap brie cheese and place onto prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until center is melted (check with a toothpick).
• Remove from oven and use the parchment paper to transfer brie to a serving plate (or leave cheese in cast iron skillet for serving). Top cheese with apricot jam and walnuts.
• Serve immediately with crackers, crostini, or sliced apples.

PERFECT-FOR-PARTIES BAKED BRIE IN PUFF PASTRY WITH APRICOT JAM

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.
