Cranberry Apricot Baked Brie Recipes

CRESCENT WRAPPED BAKED BRIE WITH APRICOTS, CRANBERRIES & ALM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F Unroll dough, separate crosswise into 2 sections, seal perforations. Place one square on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Cut brie horizontally using a very sharp knife to create 2 equally thick rounds. Place one round (cut side up) in the middle of the pastry square on the cookie sheet.
• In a small bowl, combine apricots, preserves, cranberries and almonds. Spread fruit mixture on the cut center of the brie, top with the other half (cut side down).
• Place the other square of crescent roll dough on top of the cheese round. Press dough evenly around the cheese and fold the bottom edges over the top, to seal. Seal completely.
• Brush with beaten egg.
• Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.

BAKED BRIE EN CROUTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk egg and water together to make egg wash.
• Roll out puff pastry gently to a 14-inch square. Trim corners with a knife or pizza cutter to make a circle. Spread apricot preserves over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch margin around the edge. Sprinkle cranberries and almonds over the pastry, and place Brie cheese in the center.
• Brush the edges of the pastry with some of the egg wash. Fold top and bottom of pastry over the dough; trim 2 inches off each edge. Fold remaining pastry on top to cover the Brie cheese completely. Press the seams with your fingers to seal. Remove any excess apricot preserves that leaks out.
• Transfer wrapped cheese, seam-side down, to baking sheet. Brush top with egg wash.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let stand before serving, about 30 minutes.
