Brie And Fig Spread Recipes

BAKED BRIE WITH FIG PRESERVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll the pastry into a 15-inch square on a floured work surface. Use a small plate to cut two 7 1/2-inch circles. Put the circles on the prepared baking sheet. Use a small star cookie cutter to cut out 10 stars from the dough scraps to decorate the top of the pastry. Put on the baking sheet with the pastry circles and chill 15 minutes in the fridge.
• Stir together the fig preserves and thyme in a small bowl.
• To assemble, set the bottom half of the Brie, cut side up, in the center of one of the pastry circles. Spread the fig jam on the Brie and sprinkle with the almonds. Brush the exposed pastry with the egg wash. Top with the other half of the Brie, cut side down. Lay the second pastry circle over and gently press to form it to the sides of the Brie. Fold the bottom circle of dough over, pleating as you go, to form a border.
• Brush the pastry all over with the egg wash. Arrange the cut outs on top of the brie, overlapping only slightly. Brush the cut outs with egg wash. Bake until the pastry is very crisp and deep golden, about 30 minutes.
• Let cool 10 minutes before serving with the baguette and apple slices.

FIG AND BRIE BITES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the sheets of puff pastry and cut into 24 2-inch squares. Place each pastry square in a muffin cup, pressing down so the pastry is flush with the bottom.
• Fill each pastry cup with ½ teaspoon fig jam, 1 square of Brie, and ½ teaspoon bacon.
• Brush the edges of the pastry cups with the egg wash.
• Bake the pastry cups until golden brown and cheese is melted, 10-12 minutes.
• Garnish the bites with thyme, then let cool slightly before serving.
• Enjoy!

PETIT TOASTS WITH BRIE, FIG, AND THYME

Steps:

• Arrange toasts on a serving platter and top each with a Brie cheese square. Spoon fig preserves onto Brie cheese and sprinkle almonds over toast. Drizzle a fine line of balsamic glaze over each toast and top with thyme.

GRILLED BRIE, FIG AND PROSCIUTTO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread the fig preserves onto 4 slices of bread.
• Cut the Brie into 8 long, thin slices.
• Lay 2 slices of Brie over the preserves. (I have also used creme de brie since I don't really care for the rind of Brie. If you go this route you can just spread the creme de Brie over the other slices of bread.).
• Arrange the prosciutto over the Brie.
• Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread.
• Spread half of the butter over the tops of the sandwiches and invert onto a hot skillet or pan.
• Spread the remaining butter on the other side of the sandwiches.
• Cook on the stove or in the oven, turning the sandwiches over once or twice, until the bread is golden brown and the Brie is melted.
• Cut in half to serve.

CROSTINI WITH FIG SPREAD & BUBBLED BRIE

Steps:

• Combine figs, wine, honey and lemon slices in medium suacepan.
• Bring to boil, then reduce heat and cook, covered over low heat for about 30 minutes.
• Let cool, remove lemon slices, then puree in blender.
• Brush baguette slices with olive oil, and place oil side down on large baking sheet.
• Spread about 1/2 tbsp fig spread on each baguette, top with brie slices, and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
