Baked Brie Appetizer image

Baked brie is always a delicious appetizer option. I love the use of a pizza crust in this recipe rather than crescent dough or puff pastry. It makes this baked brie a bit more rustic. We added the Grand Mariner to the apricot preserves and it was a great topping. The preserves are sweet and you taste a hint of the orange liquor...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 can(s) Pillsbury® thin pizza dough
1 wedge of brie
3/4 c apricot preserves
1 tsp Grand Marnier
1/2 c slivered almonds
crackers for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  • 2. Unwrap the brie and cut the skin off the top and sides. Leave the skin on the bottom.
  • 3. Place the brie in an ovenproof dish (approx. 8 inches in diameter).
  • 4. Open the can of Pillsbury® thin pizza crust and remove the dough.
  • 5. Cut the roll of dough into 1-inch pieces.
  • 6. Roll each piece of dough in a pencil shape, approximately three inches long.
  • 7. Surround the brie with the dough, filling the empty spaces and overlapping where necessary.
  • 8. Pour enough apricot preserves on the top of the brie wedge to cover it entirely. You may use more or less than the 3/4 cup. You may use whatever jam/preserves/marmalade that you wish.
  • 9. Add the Grand Marnier to the preserves. This is an optional step. The brie is just as good without it.
  • 10. Top the dish with the slivered almonds. Bake for 18-20 minutes depending on the hotness of your oven.
  • 11. When the brie is melted and the pizza dough is a golden brown, remove it from the oven. Let your guests top the crackers with the brie and they'll be happy campers! (I used Townhouse crackers.)
