Brie Sandwiches On Croissants Food

CRESCENT-WRAPPED BRIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate crosswise into 2 sections. Pat dough and firmly press perforations to seal, forming 2 squares. If using dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut crosswise into 2 rectangles. Pat dough to form 2 squares.
• Place 1 square on ungreased cookie sheet. Place cheese on center of dough. With small cookie or canapé cutter, cut 1 shape from each corner of remaining square; set cutouts aside.
• Place remaining square on top of cheese round. Press dough evenly around cheese; fold bottom edges over top edges. Gently stretch dough evenly around cheese; press to seal completely. Brush with beaten egg. Top with cutouts; brush with additional beaten egg.
• Bake 20 to 24 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 15 minutes. Serve warm.

PARISIAN STEAK AND CHEESE CROISSANT SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for about 5 minutes each side for medium-rare. Set aside for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice the steak, across the grain, into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Using a serrated knife, slice the croissants in half lengthwise. In 2 batches, place the croissant halves, cut side down in the skillet and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until lightly toasted. Lay the Brie slices over the toasted croissant halves. Place about 1/4 cup of the arugula on the bottom halves of the croissants. Add the sliced steak. Arrange the red bell pepper on top of the steak. Top with the remaining arugula and add the top of the croissant. Serve immediately.

MELTED BRIE AND APRICOT PETITE CROISSANTS

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.
• *Glazed pecans can be found in the nut section of your grocer's snack aisle.

WARM CROISSANT BRIE AND CARAMELIZED ONION SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cut croissants in half horizontally. Place equal amounts of brie cheese, caramelized onion and thyme on bottom half of croissant. Top with remaining croissant and place on baking sheet.
• Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and surface of croissant is golden and crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut in thirds.

BRIE AND APPLE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Sorry to be so non-specific.
• I just had this sandwich in a restaurant and posted a thread talking about it- several people asked me to post it as a recipe, so I'm kind of guessing here.
• Split the baguette for a sandwich.
• Slice the brie into medium thick slices and place a layer on each side of the open baguette.
• Place in a 350 oven for a few minutes to warm the brie.
• Top with apple slices, a little chutney or preserves and sprinkle toasted walnuts over.

PROSCIUTTO, CRANBERRY & BRIE CROISSANTS

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Split the croissants. Spread cranberry sauce on one of the cut surfaces of each half. Top with prosciutto slices. Arrange slices of brie to cover the cut surfaces of the other halves.
• Grill for a few mins to melt the cheese and crisp the prosciutto. Sandwich each croissant together with a handful of rocket leaves.
