PHYLLO-WRAPPED RASPBERRY BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
• Combine raspberry jam. dijon, red pepper flakes and rosemary in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for approximately 1 minute on high.
• Melt butter. Save 1 tablespoon for the end to coat.
• Place a phyllo sheet on parchment paper and brush lightly with butter. Repeat this step until all 12 sheets are layered and brushed with butter.
• Trim and discard the top rind of brie. Place in the center of the phyllo sheets. Spread jam mixture and slithered almond on top.
• Bring corners of the phyllo up and over the brie. The top center of the brie wheel should not be covered with phyllo sheets. Use remaining butter on phyllo if need.
• Bake 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden brown.
• Let stand 20-30 minutes before serving.
• Serve with favorite crackers, pears are delicious, or baguette slices.
• I have also made this recipe in a cast iron skillet on the grill. Spray the cast iron skillet with cooking spray. Place the phyllo sheets in skillet. Place the brie wheel in the center and top with jam mixture and slithered almonds. I would put it on the top rack of the grill to let it cook slowly. If you want it quickly, place on lower rack but you have to keep a close eye on it. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
• * Substitue: instead of raspberry jam you can mix together some peach and apricot jam with the same dijon and rosemary.

RASPBERRY AND GOAT CHEESE PHYLLO BUNDLES

Steps:

• Place frozen berries in a dish and let sit for about 5 minutes.
• Puree berries in blender.
• Add goat cheese to berry puree and blend until a consistency of frozen yogurt.
• If using a large blender, remove mixture to a small bowl for easier handling.
• Place berry mixture in freezer.
• Unroll thawed phyllo roll and cut full sheets in half crosswise. Place desired amount of half sheets onto counter top or a cookie pan and cover with a sheet of parchment paper larger enough to cover entire phyllo sheets, then place a dampened cloth on top of the parchment paper. The parchment will keep the cloth from sticking to the phyllo.
• Cover a cookie pan with a sheet of parchment paper ( wax paper is fine here too).
• Place 1 phyllo sheet (half sheet) onto the parchment. Brush with butter or spray with butter-flavored canola oil. About 1/2 a second to 1 second of spray over the entire phyllo sheet should be enough. Brush the spray afterwards.
• Place another phyllo sheet on top of the previous and coat it the same. repeat for approximately 4 more sheets.
• Once you have 6 (or more if desired) sheets, Cut into 6 smaller squares (or 4 larger if you want larger bundles).
• Remove berry mixture from the freezer. Place a heaping teaspoon onto each square of phyllo.
• Fold opposite corners to each other to create a kind of closed bag.
• Place folded bundles onto a tray or flat plate and place into freezer.
• Repeat 8 through 13 until all sheets and mixture is used. ( you can freeze mixture for future use if you end up with extra). Be sure to put the berry mixture back into the freezer between bundles.
• Store bundles in freezer until ready to bake.
• Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit.
• Remove frozen bundles from freezer and place onto parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Place tray in oven and bake for 15 minutes (or until golden brown).
• Place bundles onto serving plates. Drizzle honey over each bundle and serve.
