Baked Brie en Croûte

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced pears, brown sugar, cranberries, salt, and pepper. Cook until the pears are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Puff Pastry

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface. Place the Brie in the center of the pastry.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Baked Brie

    Spoon the caramelized pear and cranberry mixture on top of the Brie. Fold the pastry over the cheese and filling, sealing the edges. Brush the top with the beaten egg.

  4. 4

    Bake the Baked Brie

    Place the wrapped Brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Garlic Baguette

    While the cheese is baking, preheat another oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix minced garlic with softened butter. Spread this mixture on the baguette slices and bake for 10-15 minutes until toasted.

  6. 6

    Make Balsamic Reduction

    In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it thickens to a syrupy consistency, about 10-15 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the Brie is baked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with garlic baguette slices and drizzle the balsamic reduction over the top.
