Baked Brie in Puff Pastry with Cranberries Pistachios and Honey.

Today’s baked brie recipe is one of my very favourite things to serve to guests as an hors d’oeuvre. Of all the times I have served it, I have never, ever had leftovers of this one.

I do several variations on this recipe as well, using hazelnuts or almonds. I sometimes do it with blueberries, bakeapples, raspberries, blackberries or partridgeberries and sometimes use maple syrup instead of the honey.

Wild partridgeberries are what I have used in the photo. Wild cranberries are also good.

The point is that this is a very versatile recipe. Stick to the brie and the puff pastry as a base but all of the other elements can be played with quite well.

Make it with seasonal fruits like sautéed apple, cinnamon and maple in Autumn. Even peach Pecan and Honey in the summer. The possibilities are endless.

I’ve also found that this recipe can be warmed again in a moderate oven after it has been previously baked, which makes it a great dish to bring along to a party or as a pot luck appetizer.

Pistachio Nuts are delicious in this recipe but any nut can be substituted.

Do not pre-bake it and try to reheat it in the microwave; you will get a soggy crust instead of a crispy one. I generally serve it on water crackers or small slices of French baguette.

Ingredients

• 8 oz puff pastry
• 8 oz brie cheese
• ¼ cup pistachio nuts
• 1/3 cup cranberries
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1 egg

Instructions

1. Roll out the pastry sheet and cut it into a circle about twice as wide as the wheel of brie. The pastry must be very cold in order to work with it so, if necessary, return it to the fridge or freezer for a few minutes if it gets too warm.
2. Place the brie in the center of the pastry circle and cut eight evenly spaced, 1 inch slits in the crust all around the outside edge of the pastry pointing toward the center of the circle.
3. Top the brie with the pistachios, partridgeberries and honey. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash and begin bringing the flaps of pastry over the top of the brie, to the center of the cheese. These flaps will start to overlap so that the brie becomes completely enveloped in the pastry.
4. At this point, you can decorate the top of the pastry with leaf shaped cut-outs of puff pastry if you desire. Brush the entire pastry with the egg wash and chill for at least an hour before baking on a parchment lined baking sheet in a preheated 375 degree F oven for about half an hour or until the pastry is evenly golden brown.
5. Serve with crackers or small slices of French baguette.
