Not too long ago, Mathieu and I had honey-baked camembert. Personally, I detest this cheese for the mere fact that it's uncomfortably soft and smelly. However, when it was baked it was phenom. So I thought okay I'm going to go even more French on this one and try honey-baked brie. It was so good I could kiss myself.
It takes a solid 5 minutes of prepping, and 20 minutes of cooking and boom, you now have 1,000 calories of glory.
Ingredients:
- 1 wheel of brie (8 oz works) or something smaller like we did since there were two of us
- 1 puff pastry package (you'll probably only use half of it, so maybe pick up 2 brie if you're feeling crazy)
- Any type of sweet topping you prefer: honey, raspberry preserves, blueberry preserves, apricot..on and on. For my recipe I used honey and it was so good, but I've had raspberry before and it was great also. Just remember that if it's for a party, not everyone likes those specific fruits so you can't go wrong with honey.
- Large pan
- 2 apples
- 1 baguette or crackers
Directions:
- Coat the top of the brie with the topping that you have chosen. It is really at your own discretion. The honey I used was crystalized so I made it that it would eventually melt out evenly.
- Cover the brie in the puff pastry with one single layer. Make sure all holes are covered because the brie will fill your pan like lava.
- Cook for 25 minutes in pre-heated oven at 420 degrees.
- Slice up apples and baguette for dipping.
- Let the brie cool for 5 minutes and then add the apples and baguette slices/crackers to the tray for serving.
BON APPÉTIT!
