Baked Brie With Lavender Honey And Herbs Food

BAKED BRIE WITH LAVENDER HONEY AND HERBS

Steps:

• For the Lavender Honey (Makes 1 cup):
• Heat the honey and lavender flowers in a small saucepan over high heat until boiling, 4 to 5 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool. Once cool, strain the mixture through a sieve, filtering out the lavender flowers.
• For the baked brie:
• Preheat the broiler.
• Slice the baguette diagonally in 1/4-inch-thick slices and place on a broiler pan. Broil until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Chop the garlic, rosemary and thyme and place in a small bowl. Add the oil and lavender honey and stir to combine.
• Put the chilled brie on a sheet pan and score the top with a paring knife, as if you are etching it into slices. This will let the oil and herbs soak into the cracks and give the cheese room to melt and expand.
• Spread the herb and honey mixture and spread across the top of the brie. Season with salt and pepper and bake until it starts to melt, 10 minutes.
• Serve with the toasted baguette slices.

BAKED BRIE WITH HERBS AND HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Remove brie from package and wrapping; do not remove rind. Place on parchment paper and then on a baking sheet.
• Score the top with a knife, being careful to only penetrate the rind. Do not make deep cuts into the brie, as it will cause the melted cheese to leak. Cut in a criss-cross pattern.
• Top the scored brie with dried rosemary, dried thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, and honey.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the brie is gooey and soft.
• Serve immediately with sliced apples, wheat thins, crackers, or a baguette. Enjoy!

HERBED BRIE IN PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix together parsley, garlic, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, and salami. Slice the Brie in half crosswise, so you have two wheels. Spread the salami and herb mixture on one of the cut sides and top with the other half of the Brie wheel. Place the Brie in the center of the sheet of puff pastry. Fold the puff pastry up and over the Brie, pressing to secure the pastry together using a little bit of water if necessary. Brush the pastry with beaten egg.
• Bake the pastry in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
