Best Brie Brunch Biscuits Two Ways Recipes

CRANBERRY BRIE SHEET PAN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and 2 teaspoons of the salt in a large bowl. Rub 4 tablespoons of the butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 16 tablespoons butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized bits of butter remain. Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough. (Don't overmix the dough.)
• Add the Brie, parsley, cranberries, chives and thyme to the bowl and gently mix with lightly floured hands, folding the dough over itself (this is where the flaky layers will form) until the ingredients are just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto the prepared sheet pan and use lightly floured hands to evenly distribute the dough into the pan. Using a paring knife, gently score 24 squares on top of the dough, making sure the knife does not cut through to the bottom of the biscuit. (If baking the biscuits the following day, cover gently with plastic wrap at this point and refrigerate up to 24 hours.)
• Brush the top of the dough with more buttermilk. Bake until the biscuit top is lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then use a paring knife to follow the score marks to cut through the biscuits.
• Meanwhile, mix the honey with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the honey over the warm biscuits. Serve the biscuits warm or at room temperature with more butter, if desired.

EASY BISCUIT APPETIZER WITH BRIE, BLUE CHEESE & CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8- or 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
• Pour half of the melted butter into pie plate.
• In medium bowl, mix Bisquick™ mix and milk. Add rounded tablespoon-size dollops of batter to pie plate until pie plate is full of biscuit balls and all dough has been used. Drizzle remaining butter over tops of biscuits. Sprinkle Brie, blue cheese and half of the cranberries over tops of biscuits. Press some of the cheese into biscuits.
• Place pie plate on cookie sheet. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and biscuits are golden. Sprinkle with remaining cranberries and parsley. Serve warm using cocktail forks or toothpicks.

BRIE BRUNCH BISCUITS (TWO WAYS)

Steps:

• 1. NOTE: Cooking time is in 2 stages, baking biscuits and then reheating.
• 2. Bake biscuits per instructions on can, When done, remove from oven and set aside.
• 3. Leave oven on and set for 400ºF.
• 4. Remove cheese from packaging. Cut cheese into 8 equal wedges. Do not remove rind.
• 5. Using a small, serrated knife, cut around the top center of each biscuit (you're making mini bread bowl). Carefully remove the cut-out centers and reserve (I place right them beside their own biscuit).
• 6. For each biscuit, cut one of the 8 wedges of cheese in half. Place cheese inside the hollowed biscuit, rind facing out. (If using smaller biscuits, use less cheese and jam.)
• 7. Top each with a tablespoon of jam or jelly of your choice. You may place tops back on biscuits before heating or leave them on the same sheet pan as the biscuits; your choice.
• 8. Return to oven. Bake at 400ºF for 6 to 7 minutes, until cheese is melty and biscuit tops are nicely browned.
• 9. Serve hot or warm.
