FRISEE WITH WARM BRIE AND APPLES image

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2 inch thick diagonally
12 oz French Brie, cut into 4 wedges
6 tbsp honey
3 tbsp roasted and salted pistachios
4 oz frisee, washed and dried
1 tbsp syrupy aged balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp good olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350F. Place the sliced bread on a sheet pan and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until crisp. Arrange the 4 slices of BRie snugly in one layer in a glass or ceramic baking dish. Drizzle the honey over the wedges and scatter the pistachio over the top. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes until the Brie just begins to ooze but isn't melted. Be careful-it happens fast. Place the frisee in a large bowl and toss it gently with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide the salad among 4 large salad plates and place a piece of the warm Brie with the pistachios in the centre of each plate. Place a quarter of the apple slices fanned out on one side of the Brie. Place 2 or 3 slices opf baguette on the other side. Drizzle with the honey still in the baking dish and serve immediately.
