Strawberry Almond And Brie Grilled Sandwiches Food

GRILLED BRIE AND STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Brush the Brie with some of the oil. Grill until softened and grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Carefully transfer to a serving platter or board.
• Toss the strawberries in the brown sugar in a bowl until coated. Brush the grill with the remaining oil and add the strawberries cut-side down. Grill until the sugar is caramelized and the strawberries are tender, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Arrange the strawberries around and on top of the Brie. Garnish with the thyme and sprinkle with the fleur de sel and red pepper flakes. Serve warm with crackers.

BRIE-FILLED PUFF PASTY WITH BALSAMIC AND BLACK PEPPER STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• For the strawberries: Put the balsamic vinegar and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook until reduced by 2/3, about 30 minutes. Season with the pepper and some salt. Transfer to a small bowl and cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• For the puff pastry: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut four hearts from the puff pastry with the cookie cutter. Put 2 of the hearts on a baking sheet. Divide the Brie slices between the hearts on the baking sheet, leaving a small border.
• Mix the egg white with a splash of water and brush some around the edges of the filled hearts. Top them with the remaining 2 hearts and press the edges to seal. Brush the tops with egg wash, use a small paring knife to cut vents, and sprinkle with some coarse sea salt. Bake until puffy and golden, about 15 minutes.
• To serve: When the puff pastry comes out of oven, toss the strawberries in the balsamic mixture and serve them on the side.

GRILLED BRIE WITH GRAPES AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Place a piece of aluminum foil under the rack of your grill and preheat it to medium-high.
• Drizzle the oil over the grapes and season with salt and pepper. Place the grapes and the brie onto the grill and cook, turning both occasionally, until the grapes are lightly charred and bursting, about 4 to 6 minutes.
• Remove the grapes from the heat, transfer to the serving platter and drizzle with balsamic. Continue to cook the brie for 2 to 3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and it is soft but you are still able to lift it. Add to the platter.
• Scatter the pistachios over the brie and grapes and garnish with a few basil leaves. Serve immediately with sliced baguette and crackers.
