Brie And Cranberry Chutney Melt Recipes

BRIE WITH CRANBERRY CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Mix cranberries, sugar, vinegar, water, gingerroot, cinnamon and cloves in 1-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered about 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Cool slightly. (Chutney will thicken as it stands.)
• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly brush ovenproof plate with vegetable oil. Place unpeeled cheese on center of plate. Bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is soft and partially melted.
• Spoon half of the chutney over cheese. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve with crackers. Spoon remaining chutney onto cheese as needed, or save for future use.

CHUTNEY-TOPPED BRIE

Steps:

• Place the cheese in an ungreased ovenproof serving dish. Top with chutney and bacon. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is softened. Serve with crackers.

QUESADILLAS WITH CHUTNEY AND BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spread one side of each tortilla with 1 tablespoon mustard. Divide the turkey over one half of each mustard-coated side; dress with cranberry chutney (about 2 tablespoons per quesadilla). Layer each with 2 Brie slices, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold and press to seal edges. Brush on all sides with olive oil; transfer to two rimmed baking sheets.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve topped with more chutney, if desired.

BAKED BRIE WITH CRANBERRY CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the round of Brie in half horizontally, as if splitting a hamburger bun. Lift the top off the Brie and spread the Cranberry Chutney over the bottom half. Replace the top.
• Lay the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Roll slightly with a rolling pin until the puff pastry is 3 to 4 inches wider in all directions than the round of Brie. Place the filled Brie in the center of the puff pastry.
• Trim 1 inch from each corner of the puff pastry and reserve for another use or to decorate the top of the Brie. Fold in the 4 corners of the puff pastry so they meet in the center of the Brie. Lightly brush the dough where the pieces meet with the egg. Fold the remaining edges into the center so that the Brie is tightly wrapped.
• Flip the Brie onto the prepared baking sheet seam-side down. Decorate the top of the round with the remaining puff pastry, if desired. Refrigerate 1 hour. (The filled, wrapped Brie can be prepared up to 1 day in advance.)
• Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool on the pan at least 10 minutes, then use a large spatula to transfer to a serving platter. Serve with the remaining Cranberry Chutney, nuts, dried fruit and crackers.
• Combine the cranberries, apple, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange zest and juice and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm or chilled. Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

CRANBERRY BRIE BITES

Steps:

• Place Brie cheese in the freezer for 20 minutes. Oil a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Roll 1 puff pastry sheet out into a 10x14-inch rectangle. Cut the sheet lengthwise into 4 even strips and crosswise into 6 even strips; there should be 24 squares. Separate and press them gently into the muffin cups.
• Cut chilled Brie cheese into 24 pieces approximately 3/4-inch in size. Add 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce to each pastry-lined muffin cup; press in 1 piece of Brie and top with 1 teaspoon of chopped walnuts. Sprinkle bites with sea salt. Chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake bites in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

CHUTNEY BAKED BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• With a sharp knife, cut through the wax on the top of the brie in a large circle (basically the top of the brie), but don't remove it.
• Place the brie on a pie plate and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has softened and the cut part of brie has lifted. Take the brie out of the oven and gently remove the wax off the top of the brie.
• Sprinkle the brie with curry powder. Spread the mango chutney on top. Sprinkle toasted pecans on the chutney.
• Return the brie to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese has clearly become melted and bubbly.
• Serve with sliced baguette or crackers.

WARM BRIE CROSTINI RECIPE WITH CRANBERRY CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a sauce pan, combine all ingredients except for pecans (add these when serving) for the chutney and stir. Bring to a boil on medium high, stirring occasionally until cranberries begin to pop. Reduce the heat to low and allow to heat for approximately 15 minutes or until thick. Transfer to a bowl and chill until cooled. You can make the chutney 1-2 days ahead of time.
• For crostini, start by preheating oven to 375°F.
• Slice baguette on a diagonal about 1/2 in. - 3/4 in. thick, removing the ends. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and spread olive oil evenly onto each slice.
• Add slices of brie to each piece of bread.
• Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until Brie is melted. Remove from oven and add a spoonful of chutney to each and sprinkle with pecans, orange zest and a sprig of rosemary if desired.
• Serve immediately.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED BRIE

Steps:

• Lay four slices of prosciutto in a 5-inch pie pan.
• Put two slices going the other way.
• Cut the brie in half, spread 1 tablespoon of sugar-free preserves on the first half, then put the other half back on and spread preserves on top.
• Cover the brie with the six slices of bacon.
• Bake at 400F for 20 minutes, then broil for 2 to 3 minutes.

BAKED BRIE WITH CRANBERRY CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For easier trimming, place brie in freezer for 30 minutes.
• To prepare chutney, combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over low heat until thickened, about 20 minutes; cool. Chutney may be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Trim top rind off brie. Place brie in a greased baking dish that fits it almost exactly. Bake just until cheese is soft and melted, about 15 - 20 minutes. Do not overbake. Spoon chutney over cheese. Serve with crackers.
