Baked Brie W Pecans And Brown Sugar Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cheese on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate; cool about 20 minutes.
• While cheese cools, place nuts on a clean baking sheet; bake until toasted and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle nuts over cheese.
• In a small saucepan, combine sugar and maple syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat; simmer until foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle warm sauce over slightly cooled cheese and nuts; serve with crackers or baguette.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• Put brie in baking dish.
• Brush on approximately 3 T. of softened butter.
• Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of brown sugar over the brie.
• Add a few (about 1/4 cup) of walnuts or chopped pecans, really just whatever you have on hand.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes.
• Serve with sliced french bread.

Steps:

• Put the cheese in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to chill.
• Bring the cranberry juice and brown sugar to a boil in a small saucepan and add the cranberries. Turn off the heat and let the cranberries plump for about 10 minutes. Transfer them with a slotted spoon to a bowl, add the pecans, honey and cinnamon and mix together.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roll one of the sheets of puff pastry thinner with a rolling pin. Place the cheese on the center of the pastry. Top the cheese with the cranberry-nut mixture. Bring the edges of the pastry to the center and press together; brush the edges with the egg wash so they adhere.
• Cut three 1-inch-thick strips from the remaining puff pastry sheet. Cross the first 2 strips on top on the cheese so they intersect in the center like a ribbon wrapping a present. Seal the edges with egg wash. Bring the ends of the third strip of puff pastry up and over to create a bow shape, with the ends hanging down. Place in the center of the cheese and secure with egg wash. Brush the remaining pastry with egg wash.
• Bake until the pastry is light golden brown, tenting it if it begins to brown too much, about 40 minutes. Let rest briefly. Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Shave off the top rind of the Brie (it is easiest to do this after it has been in the freezer for about 20 minutes). If the Brie came in a wooden box, return it to the original container. If not, create a makeshift "box" out of a few layers of aluminum foil, leaving the top of the Brie exposed.
• Place the cheese on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until warm and gooey, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving. Carefully transfer to a serving platter; you do not want the rind to puncture, if possible.
• While the Brie is cooling, make the praline sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, and pecans. Cook, stirring constantly, until all of the ingredients are well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in coarsely ground black pepper and remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, until it has thickened up just a bit. Dollop the warm sauce over the baked cheese. (There may be extra praline sauce.) Serve with assorted crackers.

• Instructions.
• View One Step at a Time.
• Step 1.
• Make the pecan bourbon crust by mixing dry ingredients (pecans, brown sugar, and flour).
• Step 2.
• Add wet ingredients (melted butter and bourbon) and mix well.
• Step 3.
• Top the brie with crust and bake in oven at 400 degree F until bubbly, about 10 minutes.
• Step 4.
• Serve with apple slices and/or crackers.

Steps:

• 1. BAKED BRIE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• 2. Spread out a baking pan with parchment paper for baking (9x13). Spread out puffed pastry on a flat surface.
• 3. In separate small bowl, mix pecans, sugar, and cinnamon.
• 4. Spread nut mixture in the center of pastry. Place brie on top of nut mixture. Fold pastry over brie to enclose everything like a package (to the center top). Pinch together and secure gently with kitchen twine. Gently flip pastry package over, place on baking sheet with twine tied twist on the bottom.
• 5. Bake in the preheated oven 20-30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven and cool 5-10 minutes. THEN.... You can slide the parchment paper holding the baked brie slowly onto a nearby serving tray. Put it in the middle of a large serving tray giving room to surround it with apple slices, pear slices, red seedless grapes,crackers, and pecans. When cooled you can trim the parchment paper closer to the brie.
• 6. TOASTED PECANS: THIS CAN BE DONE A DAY IN ADVANCE. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Melt butter and pour into a baking pan. A pan large enough so pecans lay in single file. Roast about 20 minutes, gently stirring every 5 minutes and checking for doneness after 10 minutes.
• 7. Remove toasted pecans from oven. Mix 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp cinnamon together in small dish. Rub around to mix, then sprinkle mixture over pecans. COOL.
• 8. Cut 3 apples with a variety of colors into slices, set aside. Cut 2 pears into slices, set aside, wash and dry 2 cups of red seedless grapes, set aside. Arange these items around brie with crackers and toasted pecans.
• 9. ARRANGE FRUIT SLICES AND GRAPES AROUND BRIE ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING. YOU CAN CUT THE SLICES SEVERAL MINUTES EARLIER BUT KEEP CHILLED TO PREVENT FROM TURNING BROWN. YOU CAN HAVE EXTRA FRUIT, NUTS, AND CRACKERS PREPARED TO REPLENISH AROUND BRIE.
