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.

ROSEMARY BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• Tie the bundle of fresh rosemary together using butcher's twine. Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil into a small dish for basting. Using the rosemary bundle as a pastry brush, dip in the olive oil and brush the bread on both sides. Place the bread slices on the direct heat side of the grill to char on both sides, about 1 minute per side.
• Once both sides of the bread are charred, move the bread to the indirect heat side of the grill, place the rosemary bundle in between the bread slices, close the lid of the grill and cook until the bread is more crispy and golden brown on the outside, but still soft and chewy on the inside, 3 to 5 more minutes. Remove the bread slices from the grill and, while still warm, rub the entire surface with the garlic clove.
• Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the lemon zest and lemon juice to a small mixing bowl and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Dress the arugula with the olive oil dressing. Top the grilled bread slices with the arugula. Using a vegetable peeler, shave Parmesan over the top. Cut into rustic pieces, sprinkle with some charred rosemary leaves and serve.

ROSEMARY & BEAN BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Place your beans in a large bowl, cover with water and allow them to soak overnight.
• After soaking, drain and rinse the beans, and then put them in a pan, cover with fresh water, and bring to a boil.
• Boil rapidly for approximately 10 minutes.
• Reduce your heat and allow the beans to simmer for about 1 hour, until tender.
• Drain beans and set them aside.
• Meanwhile, put the tomatoes in a bowl, cover with boiling water, and leave for 30 seconds.
• Then peel, seed and chop the flesh.
• Heat your oil in a frying pan, add the fresh tomatoes and the sun-dried tomatoes, the garlic and the rosemary.
• Cook for 3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down and soften.
• Add the tomato mixture to the beans, season to taste with salt and pepper and mix well.
• Rub the cut sides of your ciabatta slices with the garlic clove and then toast lightly.
• Spoon your bean mixture on top of the toast and sprinkle with basil and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
• Some like to grate a small amount of fresh parmesan on top.
• ENJOY!
