Warm Prosciutto Brandy And Brie Dip Recipes

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.

PROSCIUTTO AND BRIE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Arrange the baguette slices on the prepared baking sheet. Cut the Brie into 1/4-inch-thick slices and put 1 slice on each piece of baguette. Broil until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Drizzle the toasts with the honey and then top with some prosciutto and a sprinkle of thyme leaves if using.

PUFF PASTRY BAKED BRIE WITH PROSCIUTTO DI PARMA AND CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• Place pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread cranberry sauce in a circle in centre of pastry. Scatter torn Prosciutto di Parma over cranberry sauce, then position the brie on top. Fold the corners of the pastry over the brie to cover it, then use the parchment paper to help you press the pastry snugly into the round shape. Freeze for 15 minutes while you preheat the oven to 400ºF.
• Just before baking, flip the brie over so the folded edges are underneath (it's easier to do this once chilled). Brush pastry all over with egg wash (or use a paper towel to dab it on). Bake for 25 minutes, or until crust is beautifully golden brown. Let stand 15 minutes at room temperature before cutting into it. The cheese will be melty and irresistible, but won't run out like hot lava.

WARM PROSCIUTTO, BRANDY AND BRIE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, brie, and Parmesan cheese; beat with electric mixer at medium speed until smooth.
• Add brandy, prosciutto, green onion, and red pepper flakes, beating to combine.
• Spoon into an 8-inch square baking dish for 15 to 20 minutes, until bubbly.
• Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve warm with your favorite crackers or Melba toast rounds.
• Note: This dip could easily be made and served in the crock pot.

BRANDY CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine the Gouda, sour cream, cream cheese and brandy in a 1 quart casserole dish. Bake for 30 minutes.

BRANDY NUT BRIE

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, pecans, and brandy. Set aside.
• Score top of the cheese and place on an oven proof platter.
• Bake at 400 for 4 - 5 minutes, until cheese is softened.
• Mound sugar mixture over cheese.
• Bake 2 to 3 minutes more until sugar is melted.
• Serve with crackers.
• Note: I use my toaster oven to cook this. I have seen this recipe done up on a larger wheel of brie -- the sauce just needs to be adjusted.

HOT BRUSCHETTA DIP

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix roma (plum) tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, parsley and olive oil. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.
• Remove top layer of rind from brie. Place brie in a small microwave safe serving dish. Microwave on high 1 minute, or until the cheese begins to soften. Spoon roma tomato mixture over the cheese. Microwave on high 1 minute, or until slightly melted. Serve immediately with Paris toasts or other dried breads.
