Grilled Brie And Grapes With Grilled Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Place a piece of aluminum foil under the rack of your grill and preheat it to medium-high.
• Drizzle the oil over the grapes and season with salt and pepper. Place the grapes and the brie onto the grill and cook, turning both occasionally, until the grapes are lightly charred and bursting, about 4 to 6 minutes.
• Remove the grapes from the heat, transfer to the serving platter and drizzle with balsamic. Continue to cook the brie for 2 to 3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and it is soft but you are still able to lift it. Add to the platter.
• Scatter the pistachios over the brie and grapes and garnish with a few basil leaves. Serve immediately with sliced baguette and crackers.

Steps:

• Light a grill or preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates or grill pan.
• Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with a little oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place the grapes with their stems still attached in a medium bowl. Coat the grapes with a little oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Brush the brie with a little oil, as well.
• Once the grill is heated, grill the bread until charred on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove and slice into pieces.
• Add the grape bunches to the grill and cook, turning every couple of minutes, until some of them begin to burst and they turn golden in color, 8 to 10 minutes. About 5 minutes before the grapes are done, add the brie to the grill.
• If using two 8-ounce wheels of brie, grill until you see nice grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes per side. If using one 16-ounce wheel of brie, grill until you see nice grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Remove the grilled grapes and brie and arrange on a board or platter along with the grilled bread.
• Slather a little of the gooey, grilled brie on a piece of bread and top with a couple of the grilled grapes picked from the stem.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Slice Brie wheel in half horizontally. Press grapes onto cut side of lower half of cheese. Sprinkle grapes with herbs. Press top of Brie onto grapes, sandwiching them in between the two halves. Set aside.
• On lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 16x10 rectangle. Cut a 6 round and an 8 round from puff pastry. Brush smaller round of puff pastry with egg. Set brie/grape sandwich onto pastry. Brush larger round of pastry with egg and place egg side down over Brie. Press out any excess air and crimp edges to seal. You can decorate top with puff pastry scraps if desired. Brush outside of the pastry with beaten egg. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Tent loosely with foil and return to oven for 10-15 more minutes. Brie should be golden brown and puffy looking.
• Remove from oven and let cool for one hour before cutting into Brie.
