Best Baked Brie With Cranberries And Almonds Recipes

EASY BAKED BRIE WITH ALMONDS AND BROWN SUGAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Coarsely chop 1/4 cup almonds. Combine chopped almonds, brown sugar, and mustard in a bowl; mix well.
• Cut Brie round horizontally in half. Place 1 half cut-side up in the center of a round baking stone. Spread half of the sugar mixture evenly over Brie. Top with the remaining half, cut-side up, and spread remaining sugar mixture on top. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sliced almonds.
• Cut baguette diagonally in slices. Arrange slices around Brie and spray with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until baguette slices are golden brown and Brie begins to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving.

BAKED STUFFED BRIE WITH CRANBERRIES & WALNUTS

Steps:

• Score the side of a wheel of brie all the way around with a sharp paring knife. Cut directly on the "equator" through the rind. Using a long piece of string or dental floss, wrap the string around the brie on the newly made cut. Loop one end of the string over the other (a half knot). Then pulling the ends of the string in opposite directions, cut the brie in half.
• Press the dried cranberries on one cut side of the brie, and the walnuts on the other. Quickly put the 2 sides back together with the cranberries on top of the walnuts. Press together and stuff back in any cranberries or walnuts that fell out.
• Roll out a thawed sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Place brie in center of pastry. Gently pull up edges to ensure you have enough dough to entirely wrap the brie. You can trim off the corners if there is too much dough. Brush the dough with the egg wash. Fold one edge of the dough over the brie and then the opposite side. Fold over the remaining edges and complexly encase the brie. You can trim off excess pieces of dough, if necessary. Flip the brie over so the seam is at the bottom; gently press in the sides to snug the dough against the brie. Brush the top and sides of the wrapped brie with egg wash.
• If you choose to decorate the brie with cut-out shapes of additional puff pastry, use very cold (almost still frozen) dough to ensure sharp lines. Lightly brush the decorative pieces with egg wash. Place the brie in the freezer for one hour (this is a crucial step; see note below).
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the brie on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the center rack in preheated oven until it is browned and leaking cheese, about 20 minutes. (Only rarely does the brie not leak through, but 20 to 25 minutes is about how long it takes to melt the cheese and brown the pastry.)

BAKED BRIE WITH CRANBERRIES AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 inch pie pan. 2. Slice the wheel of Brie in half, horizontally. Lay the puff pastry in the pie pan. Place half of the Brie, rind-side down, onto the pastry dough. Sprinkle almonds and cranberries evenly over the top. Place the other half of the Brie, rind-side up, over the almonds. Bundle the pastry dough around the Brie. 3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

BAKED BRIE WITH RASPBERRY JAM, ALMONDS, & CRANBERRIES RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Combine the egg yolk and water in a small bowl, then set aside. Slice the Brie in half (like a bagel) so you have two circles. Place the puff pastry on a nonstick or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Spoon out 1 tablespoon of the raspberry jam and drop it in the middle of the puff pastry. Spread the jam into a circle approximately the size of the Brie. Place one half of the Brie, rind-side down, on the jam. Spread 1 tablespoon of jam over the Brie then sprinkle the almonds and cranberries on top. Place the second half of the Brie, rind-side up on top, and spread with the remaining raspberry jam. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash, then fold up the edges to cover the cheese. Trim any excess pastry and press to seal. Flip the covered Brie over and brush the other side with the remaining egg wash. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Serve with crackers, baguette, apples, or grapes.
