Brie And Mushroom Phyllo Puffs Recipes

BRIE AND MERLOT MUSHROOMS BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the shells according to the package directions. Let cool while you make the filling.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the shallots and garlic, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper, to taste. When the mushrooms have released their liquid, add the wine and thyme and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Cut the Brie into 15 small pieces. Divide the mushroom mixture among the phyllo shells. Top each with a piece of the cheese. Return the shells to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bites to a serving platter. Garnish with chives and serve warm.

BRIE & MUSHROOMS EN CROUTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
• Put the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the onion, minced rosemary, thyme and garlic and stir to combine. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper, then stir. Deglaze the pan with the wine and continue to cook until the wine has reduced, about 1 minute. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, make an egg wash by beating the egg with 1 tablespoon of cold water.
• Lay out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and pile the mushrooms in the middle. Place the wheel of Brie in the center. Fold up the sides of the puff pastry to enclose the mushrooms and Brie, folding in the edges to seal. Place the wrapped Brie on the prepared sheet pan seam-side down and brush with the egg wash.
• Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then top with rosemary sprigs and dried cranberries to resemble an evergreen bush with berries.
