Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with two large pieces of parchment paper. Cut diagonally across the bread to create a checkerboard pattern, but do not cut all the way through. Place caramelized onions, mozzarella, brie cheese, and thyme into the cuts. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with a little sea salt.

Brie and Cranberry Crinkle Pie

A beautiful filo pastry pie with layers of brie, cranberry sauce, and a creamy egg custard poured over the top. Golden, crispy, and completely stunning.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F, or 325°F for a convection oven, then line a baking dish with parchment paper.

Place one sheet of pastry dough onto the parchment paper. Brush the dough with a little melted butter. Starting from one end, fold the dough into pleats to create waves about 3/4 inch wide. Place it at one end of the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheets until the bottom of the dish is fully covered. Next, tuck pieces of brie cheese between the layers. Drizzle a heaping teaspoon of cranberry sauce over the top. Then whisk together the eggs, milk, and cream, season to taste, and pour the mixture over the pastry. Sprinkle with thyme. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Brie, Thyme and Bacon Dauphinoise Potato

A rich and comforting layered potato bake with crispy bacon, thyme, and melted brie on top. Perfect as a side dish or a hearty main.

Instructions

The first step is to preheat the oven to 350°F. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Now it’s time to layer the ingredients. In a baking dish, start with a layer of sliced potatoes, followed by the bacon, garlic (minced or pressed), thyme, and slices of brie cheese on top. Then add another layer of potatoes. Be sure to save a bit of the cheese for the top.

Whisk together the cream and stock, season to taste, then pour it over the layered potatoes. Bake until golden brown and the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Before it’s done, sprinkle the reserved brie cheese on top and bake for another 10 minutes, or until melted.

Puff Pastry Brie Bites

Crispy puff pastry cups filled with melted brie, cranberry sauce, and pecans — these little bites are one of the most popular brie cheese recipes for entertaining. Makes 48 pieces.

Instructions

Grab a muffin tin, then spray it with non-stick spray. (The recipe uses a 24-cup or 12-cup tin.)

Unroll a sheet of puff pastry and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 10×14 inches, then cut it lengthwise into 4 equal strips. Next, cut those crosswise into 6 equal strips, giving you 24 squares in total. Take one small square and press it into the mini tin to form a little basket shape, then prick it lightly with a fork. Divide the cheese into 24 pieces and place one piece into each little basket. Drizzle a small spoonful of cranberry sauce over the top, followed by half a pecan. Fill the remaining cups the same way.

Place a larger baking sheet underneath the muffin tin in the oven, so that if anything bubbles over, it doesn’t land on the bottom of the oven.

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking. Before removing from the tin, let cool for 3 minutes. Garnish with a little fresh rosemary.
