Fresh Mango And Brie Appetizers Recipes

MANGO AND BRIE QUESADILLA WITH SOUR CREAM AND LIME DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a 10-inch nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Place 1 tortilla in the dry pan for approximately 1 minute per side, or until it just begins to brown. Remove. Repeat with the second tortilla. (If your tortilla expands like a blowfish, poke it with a fork to release the hot air.)
• After the second tortilla has browned, leave it in the pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Spread half of the mango evenly over the tortilla, then top with half of the peppers, scallions, cilantro, and Brie strips. Top with the first tortilla. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 2 minutes.
• Flip the quesadilla with a spatula, re-cover the pan, and continue cooking for 2 more minutes. (Don't worry if a bit of cheese escapes and begins to sizzle loudly.)
• Remove the quesadilla from the pan, let sit for 1 minute, then slice into 8 wedges (like a pizza). Serve immediately with the sour cream dipping sauce.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve with Sour Cream and Lime Dipping Sauce.
• Blend sour cream, lime juice and salt with a fork until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a small decorative bowl or teacup and refrigerate.

BAKED BRIE WITH ALMONDS AND MANGO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured work surface and roll into a 10-inch square. Place the Brie wheel in center of the pastry. Spread the chutney over the Brie; sprinkle with the raisins and almonds. Fold the dough up and over the cheese and fillings, pleating the dough to enclose like a packet or purse. Trim the dough, if needed. Flip the packet over and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk together the egg and 1 teaspoon water; brush the Brie packet with the egg mixture.
• Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the thyme. Cool for about 3 minutes. Serve with sliced apples and baguettes.

FRESH MANGO AND BRIE APPETIZERS

Steps:

• On a board hold mango with one of the narrower sides facing up. Starting 1/4-inch from the stem, slice along each side of the pit to cut off the "cheeks."
• With a knife or large spoon, carve out the flesh from cheeks in a single piece, cutting as close to the skin as possible. Thinly slice each cheek into 8 slices; cut slices in halves to make 32 pieces.
• Arrange chips on microwave-safe serving platters. Cut cheese into 32 pieces.
• Place one piece of Brie on each chip. Microwave one plate at a time on high power until cheese just begins to melt, 10 to 30 seconds.
• Top each with a piece of mango and a parsley leaf. Serve immediately.
