Brie Cranberry And Bacon Panini Recipes

BAKED BRIE WITH CRANBERRY-PECAN-BACON CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lay the bacon in a large skillet, then cook over medium heat until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain the bacon on paper towels, let cool, then finely chop.
• Combine the bacon, pecans, cranberries, apricots, rosemary, vinegar, pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl.
• Remove the Brie from its packaging. Cut off the top rind of the round of Brie, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges (use a sharp knife and go in from above at a slight angle). Discard the rind you have removed. Put the Brie in a small baking dish. Top with some of the cranberry-pecan-bacon crumble, and scatter the rest around the Brie. Cover the dish with foil, and bake until the cheese is warm and gooey, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Serve with bread, crackers and apple and/or pear slices for dipping.

BACON, APPLE AND BRIE PANINI

Steps:

• Heat a panini press to medium-high heat according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Butter 1 side of each slice of bread. Flip 1 slice and spread mustard on top; add cheese. Place apple slices on the cheese. Lay bacon on top. Cover with the other slice of bread, buttered side-up.
• Place sandwich into the panini press and press down. Grill until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.

BRIE, BACON, AND CRANBERRY MINI PIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut out 8-centimeter (3-in) circles for the pie base and 7-centimeter (2 ½-in) circles for the top.
• In a greased muffin tin, place the pie bases in each hole, pressing them up against the sides.
• Add the bacon, brie, and cranberry sauce, then use the egg wash on the sides of the bases.
• Attach the pie tops, making sure they are properly sealed, pierce with a fork, and brush more egg wash on the top.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is risen and golden brown.
• Enjoy!

CRANBERRY BRIE BITES

Steps:

• Place Brie cheese in the freezer for 20 minutes. Oil a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Roll 1 puff pastry sheet out into a 10x14-inch rectangle. Cut the sheet lengthwise into 4 even strips and crosswise into 6 even strips; there should be 24 squares. Separate and press them gently into the muffin cups.
• Cut chilled Brie cheese into 24 pieces approximately 3/4-inch in size. Add 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce to each pastry-lined muffin cup; press in 1 piece of Brie and top with 1 teaspoon of chopped walnuts. Sprinkle bites with sea salt. Chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake bites in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

BRIE, CRANBERRY AND BACON PANINI

Steps:

• If using panini rolls, cut each roll in half. If using regular bread, spread the outside of each slice with butter.
• Spread 2 1/2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce each on 2 slices of bread.
• Layer the brie over the cranberry sauce.
• Top with 2 slices of bacon and the top layer of bread, remembering to keep the buttered side facing outwards.
• I use a George Foreman grill to cook the panini- press the lid down to heat the sandwich right through and cook for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.
• Alternatively, cook in a skillet, pressing the sandwich firmly with a spatula while cooking.
• Serve hot!

CRANBERRY BRIE SHEET PAN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and 2 teaspoons of the salt in a large bowl. Rub 4 tablespoons of the butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 16 tablespoons butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized bits of butter remain. Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough. (Don't overmix the dough.)
• Add the Brie, parsley, cranberries, chives and thyme to the bowl and gently mix with lightly floured hands, folding the dough over itself (this is where the flaky layers will form) until the ingredients are just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto the prepared sheet pan and use lightly floured hands to evenly distribute the dough into the pan. Using a paring knife, gently score 24 squares on top of the dough, making sure the knife does not cut through to the bottom of the biscuit. (If baking the biscuits the following day, cover gently with plastic wrap at this point and refrigerate up to 24 hours.)
• Brush the top of the dough with more buttermilk. Bake until the biscuit top is lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then use a paring knife to follow the score marks to cut through the biscuits.
• Meanwhile, mix the honey with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the honey over the warm biscuits. Serve the biscuits warm or at room temperature with more butter, if desired.
