Melted Brie And Apricot Petite Croissants Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler. Put the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cut the Brie into 1/4-inch-thick slices and top each piece of bread with a slice. Broil until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Top each cheese toast with some prosciutto and a dollop of apricot jam and a sprinkle of chives.

Steps:

• Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Cut in half crosswise to make two 8-by-12-inch rectangles, then cut each piece crosswise into thirds to make six 4-by-8-inch rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half diagonally to make 12 triangles.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Starting from the short side, loosely roll up each pastry triangle; place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk the egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water; brush on the pastry. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and continue baking until the croissants are cooked through, 35 to 40 more minutes. Let cool completely.
• Make the meringue: Whisk the egg whites, sugar, lemon juice and salt in a large heatproof bowl until smooth. Place the bowl over a saucepan with 1 inch of simmering water (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water); cook, whisking, until the mixture is warm and the sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until the meringue is cool and stiff glossy peaks form, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Poke a hole in the bottom of each croissant with a thick skewer or chopstick, wiggling it around to create a small pocket. Fill a resealable plastic bag with the lemon curd; snip a corner. Pipe about 1 tablespoon curd into each croissant. Swirl the meringue on top of each croissant using the back of a spoon. Lightly toast the meringue with a kitchen torch.

Steps:

• Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat and oil grate when ready to cook.
• For Quesadilla:
• Lay out 4 tortillas; top each tortilla with brie, smoked turkey, apricot preserves, and Jack cheese. Top with remaining tortillas.
• For Salad:
• In a bowl, toss to combine herbs and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Place quesadillas on hot oiled grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until cheese has melted flipping with a spatula. Serve hot topped with mixed herb salad.
• Indoor:
• Prepare quesadillas as directed. In a skillet large enough to fit tortillas, heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully fry both sides of quesadillas for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown; turning with a large spatula. Garnish, as directed.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F Unroll dough, separate crosswise into 2 sections, seal perforations. Place one square on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Cut brie horizontally using a very sharp knife to create 2 equally thick rounds. Place one round (cut side up) in the middle of the pastry square on the cookie sheet.
• In a small bowl, combine apricots, preserves, cranberries and almonds. Spread fruit mixture on the cut center of the brie, top with the other half (cut side down).
• Place the other square of crescent roll dough on top of the cheese round. Press dough evenly around the cheese and fold the bottom edges over the top, to seal. Seal completely.
• Brush with beaten egg.
• Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Slice and lay the croissants open. Cover each croissant bottom with slices of brie to cover. Spread with 1/2 tablespoon preserves, sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon chopped glazed pecans and 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar. Cover with top of croissant.
• Heat large skillet over medium heat. Spray sandwiches with no-stick cooking spray. Place sandwiches, sprayed side down, in heated skillet. Cover skillet and brown sandwiches 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Spray tops of sandwiches before turning to brown second side.
• Remove sandwiches from skillet. Allow to rest covered, about 3 minutes. Cut diagonally, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• Melt butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Add onion and salt and cook until onion is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add in the sprig of thyme and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Slice croissants in half and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side up. Spread apricot preserves on the top half and place 3 pieces of brie cheese. On the bottom croissant half, place caramelized onions and folded slices of Castle Wood Reserve® Uncured Honey Ham. Repeat with the other croissant.
• Bake open-face for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and add arugula. Close the sandwiches and serve with a skewered strawberry for a garnish.
• Enjoy!
