Brie With Herbs In Bread Recipes

BRIE WITH HERBS IN BREAD

Steps:

• Cut the baguette in half lengthwise and sprinkle the cut surface of each half with the oil, wine, pepper and garlic, dividing the ingredients evenly between the two halves.
• Trim the Brie to remove any crust and cut into quarter-inch slices, preferably large and thin. Spread half the herbs on the cut surface of the bottom half of the loaf and arrange the cheese slices on top. Spread the remaining herbs on top of the Brie and place the top half of the bread loaf on top to reform the loaf. Press firmly together and roll as tightly as possible in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. (If tightly wrapped, the bread absorbs the juices better.)
• Press the loaf between two baking sheets and refrigerate with three-to-five pounds of weight (a can or jar, perhaps) on top for four to five hours before cutting in slices to serve. It can be consumed cold or lukewarm

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

HERBED BRIE IN PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Spread the salami and herb mixture on one of the cut sides and top with the other half of the Brie wheel. Place the Brie in the center of the sheet of puff pastry. Fold the puff pastry up and over the Brie, pressing to secure the pastry together using a little bit of water if necessary. Brush the pastry with beaten egg.

BAKED BRIE WITH LAVENDER HONEY AND HERBS

Steps:

• For the Lavender Honey (Makes 1 cup):
• Heat the honey and lavender flowers in a small saucepan over high heat until boiling, 4 to 5 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool. Once cool, strain the mixture through a sieve, filtering out the lavender flowers.
• For the baked brie:
• Preheat the broiler.
• Slice the baguette diagonally in 1/4-inch-thick slices and place on a broiler pan. Broil until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Chop the garlic, rosemary and thyme and place in a small bowl. Add the oil and lavender honey and stir to combine.
• Put the chilled brie on a sheet pan and score the top with a paring knife, as if you are etching it into slices. This will let the oil and herbs soak into the cracks and give the cheese room to melt and expand.
• Spread the herb and honey mixture and spread across the top of the brie. Season with salt and pepper and bake until it starts to melt, 10 minutes.
• Serve with the toasted baguette slices.
