Cranberry Walnut And Brie Wreath Recipes

CRANBERRY AND BRIE CRESCENT RING RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the crescent roll triangles on the prepared baking sheet with the points sticking out, overlapping the bases to form an 8-inch (20 cm) circle.
• Spoon the cranberry sauce onto the bases of the crescent dough triangles and top with the brie wedges. Fold the pointed ends of the dough over the cranberry sauce and brie and tuck underneath to seal.
• Brush the ring with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the flaky salt and thyme.
• Bake for 30 minutes, turning halfway through, or until dark golden brown. Transfer to a platter and serve.
• Enjoy!

BAKED STUFFED BRIE WITH CRANBERRIES & WALNUTS

Steps:

• Score the side of a wheel of brie all the way around with a sharp paring knife. Cut directly on the "equator" through the rind. Using a long piece of string or dental floss, wrap the string around the brie on the newly made cut. Loop one end of the string over the other (a half knot). Then pulling the ends of the string in opposite directions, cut the brie in half.
• Press the dried cranberries on one cut side of the brie, and the walnuts on the other. Quickly put the 2 sides back together with the cranberries on top of the walnuts. Press together and stuff back in any cranberries or walnuts that fell out.
• Roll out a thawed sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Place brie in center of pastry. Gently pull up edges to ensure you have enough dough to entirely wrap the brie. You can trim off the corners if there is too much dough. Brush the dough with the egg wash. Fold one edge of the dough over the brie and then the opposite side. Fold over the remaining edges and complexly encase the brie. You can trim off excess pieces of dough, if necessary. Flip the brie over so the seam is at the bottom; gently press in the sides to snug the dough against the brie. Brush the top and sides of the wrapped brie with egg wash.
• If you choose to decorate the brie with cut-out shapes of additional puff pastry, use very cold (almost still frozen) dough to ensure sharp lines. Lightly brush the decorative pieces with egg wash. Place the brie in the freezer for one hour (this is a crucial step; see note below).
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the brie on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the center rack in preheated oven until it is browned and leaking cheese, about 20 minutes. (Only rarely does the brie not leak through, but 20 to 25 minutes is about how long it takes to melt the cheese and brown the pastry.)

CRANBERRY AND BRIE PUFF PASTRY WREATH

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll the pastry out to around 5mm thick and cut a large circle out of the pastry.
• Lay the pastry on the prepared baking sheet.
• Mark a circle with a medium-sized bowl and with a sharp knife, cut 4 cuts into the center circle. (As demonstrated in the video.)
• Spread the cranberry sauce around the center "star" then top with the Brie and pistachios.
• Bring one point of the center star over the filling as well as bringing the outer edge of pastry inwards. Press the two together and continue until you have a wreath.
• Brush with beaten egg then place in the oven and allow to bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
• Remove from the oven, allow to rest for 5 minutes then slice and serve.

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.

CRANBERRY, WALNUT AND BRIE WREATH

Steps:

• Line underside of a large baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
• Combine cranberries, water, sugar and maple syrup in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries are beginning to break down and liquid has mostly absorbed, about 8 to 10 min. Remove from heat, stir in rosemary and transfer to a heat-proof bowl. Place in fridge until cooled completely, about 20 min.
• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Unroll pastry onto prepared sheet and cut off square edges to make a 10-inch circle. 2-1/2-inches from edges, cut centre of circle into 8 even slices (like a pizza). Spoon cranberry sauce onto sheet 1-inch from edge just to where the cuts begin. Sprinkle with brie and nuts. Fold border of pastry over edge of filling and egg wash. Fold each point from centre to folded edge, pressing lightly to adhere. Egg wash folded pastry and freeze for 10 minutes.
• Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Sprinkle with rosemary leaves if desired. Serve warm.

BRIE & CRANBERRY FILO PARCELS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line two baking trays with baking parchment. Unravel a sheet of filo pastry onto a chopping board, covering the rest of the filo with a damp tea towel so it doesn't dry out. Brush the filo sheet liberally with some of the melted butter, then cut into three strips lengthways.
• Spoon ½ tsp cranberry sauce over the top right-hand corner of each pastry strip and place a piece of brie on top. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle, then continue to fold the pastry over itself down the length of the strip. Brush with more butter to seal, then sprinkle over the poppy seeds and place on the lined baking tray. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. The parcels can be covered and chilled in the fridge for up to a day or frozen for up to three months.
• Bake for 15-20 mins (or 20-25 mins from frozen) until deep golden brown. Leave to stand for 5 mins before serving with some extra cranberry sauce.
