Grilled Brie And Strawberries Recipes

GRILLED BRIE AND STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Brush the Brie with some of the oil. Grill until softened and grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Carefully transfer to a serving platter or board.
• Toss the strawberries in the brown sugar in a bowl until coated. Brush the grill with the remaining oil and add the strawberries cut-side down. Grill until the sugar is caramelized and the strawberries are tender, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Arrange the strawberries around and on top of the Brie. Garnish with the thyme and sprinkle with the fleur de sel and red pepper flakes. Serve warm with crackers.

BALSAMIC STRAWBERRY & BRIE GRILLED CHEESE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Place sliced strawberries in a small storage container and pour the balsamic vinegar over the top. Toss gently with a spoon and cover (either use an airtight lidded container or cover tightly with plastic wrap). Allow to marinate for at least 4 hours, or up to two days.
• Butter one side of each piece of bread. Lay bread buttered side down and cover every other piece with a single layer of brie cheese. Use a slotted spoon to remove the berries from the vinegar, and press three or four slices into the brie on each sandwich. Sprinkle each with two or three strands of fresh basil. Top with a second piece of bread, buttered side up.
• In a large frying pan or on a griddle over medium-low heat, cook the sandwiches, flipping often and flattening them gently with the bottom of the spatula, until they're golden-brown on the outsides and the cheese is melted inside, about 10 minutes total.
• Serve immediately.

CEDAR PLANK-GRILLED BRIE WITH BERRIES

Steps:

• Put a cedar grilling plank in a large baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet and cover with water; let soak at least 1 hour. Preheat a grill to medium to medium high.
• Put the blackberries in a medium bowl and lightly crush with a fork. Add the strawberries, vinegar, sugar, thyme, a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir, then let stand at least 5 minutes.
• Drain the cedar plank. Trim just the top rind off the brie. Place the brie on the plank and top with the berry mixture, reserving some of the juices for serving. Sprinkle with the almonds.
• Place the plank on the grill and cover. Cook until the brie is softened and warmed through, 9 to 11 minutes (keep an eye out during the last few minutes in case the brie starts to melt out of the rind). Gently press the side of the brie to see if it's ready; it should yield to pressure. Drizzle with the reserved berry juices and sprinkle with a few thyme leaves. Serve warm with crackers.
