Baked Brie

You gotta try this!

For an even simpler version....

Get either a small brie or camembert (must be the ones in the wooden boxes) and remove it from the plastic wrapper inside.

Cut a circle of greaseproof or parchment, wrap the cheese in it, and then put back in the box, lid on. Give it about 20 mins in the oven, until the inside has gone liquid. Cut a cross in the top, fold back the edges and eat with crusty bread !!

Instant fondue !!

It may be worth soaking the box in water for a few minutes if the oven is **really** hot !

Cheers

Here's a variation I had wanted to try first before posting, however, since we're on the subject ...

Fantasy Campfire Camembert

1 round of Camembert, with its box
A splash of white wine
A sprinkling of chopped thyme leaves
Pepper

Remove the cheese from its box and unwrap it. Put the cheese back in its box. Poke all over the top with a fork, and splash on a little wine to run into the holes. Scatter over the thyme and sprinkle over the pepper. Close the box. Wrap in foil. Bake at 400ºF/200ºC for 10 minutes or until very hot and runny. Serve immediately with crusty bread.

Anything with wine and herbs has my attention!

The one my kids like is wood roasted large Whole Brie with wrapped in streaky bacon garlic & basil wood roasted until the bacon is crispy

We cut a few little stripe in the top of one side of the brie and put a slice of garlic in each one then rub the out side of the brie in the garlic and basil and wrap in the bacon,

My version...

Place a piece of pre made pie dough down.
Add raspberry preserves in the middle of the pie dough
Put a round piece of Brie on top of the raspberries
Pull the pie dough up on the sides and over the Brie
Flip over so the crease is on the bottom and the raspberry part is on top

I put mine in a small metal caphalon skillet and baked in the front of the oven.
Serve with some slices of french bread.

It was a big hit.

I did a similar thing once, only with puff pastry dough and raspberry chipotle salsa. It was wonderful. I wish I could take credit for the idea, but it was on the label of the salsa jar.

yet another version

Puff pastry dough
handful of walnuts
handfull of brown sugar
Egg Wash

Roll out dough
1/2 handful of sugar and nuts on dough - then place the brie - then the remaining nuts and sugar on top.

take a fork and all around the puff pastry put about 1/4 inch of the fork tines in the dough to make a pretty indentaions. Now gather up the dough and tie with a piece of string. It should now look like a pretty little package.

Brush with egg wash, stick it in the oven till golden brown and ENJOY!!
