Baked Brie With Caramelized Onions And Hazelnuts Recipes

BAKED BRIE WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 2-3 tablespoons of oil; once hot, add in the sliced onions along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they become deeply golden-brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
• Once golden, stir in the teaspoon of sugar, followed by the balsamic vinegar, and allow the mixture to bubble up and reduce, stirring to incorporate; allow the onions to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently now, until jam-like and deeply browned; then, add the 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves, stir to combine, and remove from pan and allow to cool (you should have roughly 1/2 cup).
• To prepare the baked brie, lightly flour your work surface, and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to about 1/8" thickness, a bit larger than the wheel of brie (trim the puff pastry a little bit if it's considerably too large for your brie); place the brie in the center of it, spoon over top of it the cooled, balsamic caramelized onions, then fold the puff pastry sheet over top to cover everything, creating a little "package" with pleats.
• Place the wrapped brie "package" onto a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and very gently brush some egg wash over the puff pastry (avoid allowing it to pool underneath), and place into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes (or even overnight), covering lightly with plastic wrap.
• Preheat the oven to 400°.
• Once ready to bake, place the brie into the oven and bake for roughly 35-40 minutes, or until deeply golden and puffed; allow the baked brie to stand for 10 minutes before serving, to avoid it oozing out too much.
• To serve, add a couple of decorative sprigs of thyme, and surround the brie with crackers, sliced baguette, or even fruit such as apples or pears.

Steps:

• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Toast the pine nuts for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Add the butter to the skillet and throw in the onion, thyme and rosemary. Season with the salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, about 18 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Meanwhile, with a serrated knife, cut off the top rind of the round of Brie, discarding when done. Put the Brie in a small cast-iron skillet or casserole dish. Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
• Remove the foil, top with the caramelized onions and return to the oven until the cheese has melted and there is slight color around the edges, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with the pine nuts, parsley and oregano and serve with the carrot sticks.
